Description
With the launch of the large-volume offshore fish cage project, offshore fish farming is emerging as a pivotal technology trend for supplying sufficient high-quality fish to tables. The relocation of these expansive facilities to offshore sites not only facilitates fish production but also paves the way for electrification solutions powered by wind energy. This approach is bolstered by existing applications that harness offshore wind energy to support oil and gas platforms. In the deep waters where floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and fish farms coexist, optimizing their mooring systems poses a significant challenge. The mooring design must consider not only economic and environmental factors but also the integrity of other components, including power cables. During the initial design phase of such an array-like system, a time-efficient analysis model is developed to evaluate various design variables and determine the most suitable initial design. This method considers environmental loads originating from different conditions based on the exact site condition. Using this method, the optimal system orientation is determined, and subsequent optimization of mooring and cable components can be performed. This presentation presents a comprehensive overview of our approach to integrating offshore fish farming with wind energy solutions.
