A data-driven framework towards sustainable reuse of decommissioned petroleum platforms as support structures for wind energy production

Descrizione del progetto

Le piattaforme petrolifere dismesse si occupano della produzione di energia eolica

In virtù della transizione verde che incentiva l’allontanamento dai combustibili fossili, il numero di piattaforme petrolifere dismesse è destinato ad aumentare, costituendo una minaccia ambientale potenziale. Tuttavia, si avverte anche l’urgente necessità di fonti di energia verde offshore, i cui costi e impronta di carbonio siano più bassi possibili. Il progetto DeP2WIND, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di garantire che tali strutture massicce situate nell’oceano non si trasformino in rifiuti, proponendo il rinnovato utilizzo di piattaforme dismesse come strutture di supporto per turbine eoliche. DeP2WIND applicherà un innovativo approccio interdisciplinare orientato ai dati per valutare lo stato delle piattaforme dismesse relativamente a corrosione e fatica, la manutenzione ottimale e gli interventi di riparazione, nonché una progettazione adeguata per le turbine eoliche.

Obiettivo

Seeking offshore green energy sources with the lowest possible cost and carbon footprint, while avoiding any additional oceanic waste, is currently a major challenge. Scientists have been warning about the increase in the number of decommissioned platforms and their potential negative impact on the environment. On the other hand, the transition from fossil to green energy has become a necessity if we are to reduce the consequences of climate change. This means that more petroleum platforms will be decommissioned in the near future. DeP2WIND is an innovative project that deals with these important problems by proposing a mapping framework for the reuse of decommissioned platforms as support structures for wind turbines. The project will address the safety and maintenance of these steel structures and how to save on the excessive installation costs of wind turbines. The project will take a novel interdisciplinary and mixed reliability, optimisation and data-driven approach. Based on an assessment of the state of the decommissioned platforms as regards corrosion and fatigue, the optimum maintenance and repair actions and a suitable design for wind turbines, different outcomes will be investigated using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The fellow will benefit from the expertise of the Structural Engineering Research Group at the Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. Building on the fellows previous work and skills in both structural engineering, machine learning-based modelling and reliability research, the project activities will further develop the fellows professional and academic maturity. Furthermore, the results will have a key impact on the advancement of multiple academic disciplines, contribute to the EUs green deal and UN policies, and help to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals, by providing affordable and clean energy and improving the quality of marine life.
