Connector Response of a Grid Pattern Multibody Very Large Floating Structure Subject to Wave Loading

The energy transition requires us to explore all options for generating non-fossil energy. Companies are starting to invest in technologies such as offshore floating PV systems (OFPV) to avoid congested urban population centres. OFPV structures are likely to consist of many small, simple, flexibly connected floaters. The entire structure must be...

Modelling mechanical behavior of offshore floating solar concepts

The world is currently in a global energy transition. To reach the global energy goals requires massive deployment of clean and efficient energy technologies. The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) therefore has to be scaled up. Offshore deployment of floating PV would be a suitable solution. There are currently different concepts in development for...
