Periodic Reporting for period 1 - FIBREGY (Development, engineering, production and life-cycle management of improved FIBRE-based material solutions for structure and functional components of large offshore wind enerGY and tidal power platform)
Berichtszeitraum: 2021-01-01 bis 2022-06-30
Offshore renewable energy will greatly help to reduce Europe’s oil and gas dependency, to reach climate goals and CO2 reduction levels, and to secure Europe’s technical and economic competitiveness, as well as energy supply.
The main objective of the FIBREGY project is to enable the extensive use of FRP materials in the structure of the next generation of large Renewable Energy Offshore Platforms (REOPs) by overcoming the above mentioned challenges.
• Qualitative market analyses of the technologies under development within the project.
• Selection of most suitable FRP materials to be used on the REOPs demonstrators.
• Mechanical characterization of selected materials.
• Detailed analysis of FRP conextions among FRP component blocks.
• Development of hydroelastic solvers and implementation on digital twins for structural health monitoring.
• Developemnt of a sensor based structural monitoring strategy on prototypes.
• FRP redesign of current REOPs concepts.
• Analysis of manufacturing strategies to enable massive production of large components.
