Wind-solar hybrid for outdoor communication base stations
The invention relates to a wind and solar hybrid generation system for a communication base station based on dual direct-current bus control, comprising photovoltaic arrays, a wind-power
Floating offshore wind energy is also faced with a lack of a maintenance strategy for mooring systems given the current supply of required vessels. The scale of floating offshore wind projects in the planning stages already approaches the global supply of anchor handling tug supplies in operation.
These factors present some of the many challenges related to offshore wind maintenance planning. Also, the optimization objectives may not be limited to annual energy production or levelized cost of energy alone but can potentially add some conflicting objectives such as component loads, life, and electricity marketing prices.
Predictive maintenance strategies have emerged for floating offshore wind farms via the European Union's FLOTANT project, which includes a methodology of risk assessment for the mooring system components and platform (Zhao, Thies, and Johanning 2021).
Twist-induced fatigue occurring between links is exacerbated by wind-wave misalignment, which could have a much greater effect on a wind energy mooring system than in offshore oil and gas due to the larger wind loads and more dynamic floating platform motions.
