CoreMarine is excited to be part of the European Union and Basque Government INTEGRIA project, researching “structural INTEGRity in floating offshore wind using models based on Artificial Intelligence”.
INTEGRIA aims to take several AI-based digital models, each looking at a different element of a floating offshore wind structure, and combine them into a single, comprehensive model. The parts modelled will include the transition piece, mooring system, evacuation and power supply, access system, and the hydraulic and mechanical systems that control a floating wind turbine. CoreMarine will be focusing on the power cable and mooring models.
The goal is to address challenges of scale arising in the development of commercial floating wind farms, making the technological leap from using largely academic theory to model individual turbine prototypes and pilots, to guaranteeing full-scale operations for the lifetime of a commercial project.
The project aims to develop models for detecting and preventing faults, fatigue and degradation, as well as decision-making algorithms for offshore floating wind operations and maintenance (O&M).
CoreMarine’s role will be to perform advanced monitoring on floating structures using the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) HARSHLab test lab, applied to the NAUTILUS floating platform as a case study. We’ll also be doing structural monitoring based on the reduced order method.
