Numerical study on the feasibility of offshore single blade installation by floating crane vessels
Abstract
Compared with jack-up crane vessels that are now widely used in offshore wind turbine installation, floating crane vessels are more flexible with respect to working water depth and are much faster in relocation. They are thus a promising alternative to install offshore wind turbine components, especially in intermediate and deep water. However, the wave-induced motions of the floating vessels make the operations challenging. This study deals …
