Aero-hydro-elastic simulation platform for floating systems
The project focuses on a theoretical and experimental study of floating platforms for wind turbines, wave power systems and the relationship between wind and wave power. The project basis is the existing wave-wind power plant 'Posidon's Organ'

Results
Platform motion, wind and wave conditions and turbine loads have been measured during two test perids, one period operating as a wave energy conversion platform only and one period operating as a combined wave and wind energy conversion platform. The preliminary data analysis indicates that the platform is suitable as wind turbine foundation and that the turbines reduce the platform motion. To model the platform concept a new simulation platform has been developed, combining the aeroelastic code HAWC2 for computing wind turbine loads and the radiation/diffraction code WAMSIM for calculating floating body dynamics.
