    Offshore wind resources in deep-water is more abundant and will be one of the main development trends in the next few years. However, offshore wind development faces many challenges such as the power transmission and consumption. It needs new development models and technological innovations to be promoted. Hydrogen production through offshore wind would improve the power system flexibility and safety, and could be used as renewable energy storage to achieve large-scale and long-term storage. Based on the market price and literature, the tech-economic comparison and evaluation are carried of onshore off-grid hydrogen production and offshore hydrogen production with pipeline from the levelized cost of hydrogen and internal rate of return. Based on the whole life cost, the levelized cost of hydrogen production through offshore with pipeline is lower and the CAPEX and OPEX of water electrolysis system have a significant impact on the LCOH. In terms of economy, offshore wind will obtain higher returns than offshore hydrogen production if all electricity could be imported to the power system.

    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2024, 11 (1): 106-115.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2024.01.17

    This paper sorts out relevant engineering cases at home and abroad, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of physical energy storage and electrochemical energy storage in offshore applications based on three scenarios: the mandatory requirement of energy storage systems policy for large-scale offshore wind farms, energy storage for improving the penetration of offshore wind power into the grid for integrated development of offshore oil and gas and new energy, and energy storage for off-grid production of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol. Considering the technology maturity, safety, reliability, compactness, lightweight, economy, and other factors, the most suitable energy storage applied offshorely is still the LFP battery. In the future, considering the superiority of lithium titanate oxide (LTO) batteries in terms of safety, after the cost is reduced, the choice of LTO battery could be considered. But due to the low density of LTO battery, the volume and quality of the equipment are larger than that of LFP battery, and the layout of the offshore platform needs to be further considered. In addition, because there is no single energy storage system that can simultaneously have the characteristics of high power, large energy storage density, reliable safety, and long life cycle, the use of “flywheel+” and “supercapacitor+”hybrid energy storage system is considered, to maximize the shortcomings of a single energy storage method to make up for, to obtain a better performance of the energy storage system. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of new energy storage engineering applications at sea, it is suggested that further research and engineering application of technologies such as the intrinsic safety, safety monitoring and early warning of energy storage under the anti-sloshing conditions of floating facilities at sea should be carried out.

    The offshore wind turbine jacket is relatively small and needs to be built in batches, therefore, it mostly adopts vertical construction process. However, due to the particularity of this type of jacket structure, offshore wind turbine jacket will faces a lot of hard lifting operations during its vertical construction process. Currently, there is no relevant lifting experience and engineering case for reference. Hereto, this paper based on a 2000T class large offshore wind turbine jacket project, introduced the general assembly process of this jacket, analyzed the technical difficulties of its assembly in different process, provides a lifting method for TP and upper jacket integrated lifting and lower jacket turn over lifting. Practice has proved that the method can effectively solve a series of lifting problems, such as difficult arrangement of lifting points, high difficulty of assembly and high requires of crane performance. This paper could help realize the batch construction of offshore wind turbine jacket and provide technical support for other similar projects.

    Traditionally, span analysis determines the maximum allowable free span length based on the condition that no vortex induced vibration (VIV) will happen and the assumption of strength ultimate limit state (ULS). The cost of span mitigation rises rapidly with the increase of water depth. Free span analysis based on fatigue life could remarkably increase the maximum allowable span length and cut the engineering cost. We present the free span analysis method and criteria for subsea pipeline. Based on the engineering project which is the first time to use fatigue limit for pipeline design, the free span analysis is conducted by fatigue limit state (FLS) and finite element method, and the results minimize the number of span mitigation.

    Ocean Engineering Equipment and Technology    2023, 10 (3): 1-12.   DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2023.03.01

    With the development trend of large-scale and ocean-going offshore wind farms, the demand for large-scale offshore converter stations will continue to increase, and their installation problems will gradually receive attention. In this paper, taking the SanXia Rudong offshore converter station as an example, a multi-body dynamic model is established by OrcaFlex software to numerically calculate the transportation and floatover installation process of the converter station, and the motion, acceleration and mooring line force of the barge and converter station in some stages are analyzed. The results show that during the transportation stage, when the significant wave height is the same, the motion amplitude and acceleration of the barge-converter station system increase correspondingly with the increase of the spectral peak period Tp (6~9s), but they are basically within the limit value. During the installation stage, the spectral peak period Tp = 8s at the same wave height will cause greater surge, sway, and yaw motion amplitudes than Tp = 6s and 10s, and more attention should be paid to such working conditions. In addition, head sea conditions are more conducive to the floatover operation. Besides, the risk research of the converter station transportation stage is carried out, and effective risk control measures are proposed to provide a certain reference for the actual large-scale offshore converter station installation operation.

    With the technological developments of offshore platform and modularization factory, process pipelines become more and more complex, and account for an increasingly high proportion. How effectively the three-dimensional (3D) model data are transferred to the fabrication design has become a common problem. Traditionally, computer-aided design (CAD) software is used for pipe cutting, but because this method has low work efficiency and cannot avoid manual errors, it is not able to meet the requirements of short construction period and strict material control. We introduce a new method for pipeline breaking using the Spoolgen software, and briefly give the spool precast management workflow performed with construction management system (CMS). This research will provide reference for the fabrication design of offshore oil platform and modularization factories.
