C104001 Field survey of offshore wind energy and analysis of wind wave engineering 3.0 3
Description Offshore wind power has become one of the key projects for the development of renewable energy in Taiwan. Therefore, it is high priority to evaluate the potential site of offshore wind power in Taiwan. The investigation of sea current characteristics and the wind load design of wind turbines also have a significant impact on future structural safety. Through site selection and structural safety analysis, it could evaluate the maximum potential site and be suitable for wind power operator to develop, and then to achieve the national long-term planning of renewable energy plant capacity. The course content mainly includes geological overview of the Taiwan sea area, geological survey, wind field structure in different environments, simple assessment of wind farm site selection, survey and assessment of current characteristics, wind field characteristics and design wind speed, bluff body aerodynamics, air-elastic instability, structural wind-resistant design concept, offshore wind load de
