Relatively speaking, offshore wind is a complex technology and one of the frontier areas of engineering. It would take multiple stakeholders with a a diverse team of engineers to come together to deliver a successful project. Don't mean to oversimplify but, the illustration above could be a simpler way of visualizing a combination of skills and competences that are necessary at a personal level and also as a a team:
[1] Understanding of Regulatory Framework
[2] Domain / Discipline Knowledge - New Application of Existing Technology
[3] Specialized Knowledge - New Technology Development
Will be glad to hear your thoughts. Please feel free to either make comments below or send me an email at shashikant.sarada AT wsp.com.
Principal Specialist
3 年Proposed to add machinery safety in the [2] Domain... circle. Safety systems related to excessive vibration or overspeed protection is crucial in WTs. Maybe it should in [3], since it is specialized pice of knowledge, the 1p, 3p, free vibrations are specific to WTs. Also, Owners of the WTs will be glad to have "philosophy of the operation of the WT" - on the top of the above circles [1-3]. For example in previous edition of the standard we stated that WT must ensure continuation of production. It implicates adequate design arrangements. For instance the WT provides power even small fuse e.g. dedicated for internal lighting trips. Yes, natural but not always met in WTs. Please also add signalling systems, lights, maybe helicopter service staff, and davids/crane in [2].
