Description |
The objective of this project was to conduct an engineering study that addressed the requirements for standards that are suitable for the design of OWTGs in U.S. federal waters. This study reviewed the applicability and merits of at least two sets of standards that are relevant to offshore wind power development. These standards were the API recommended practice that is currently used for the design and regulatory review of structures used for oil and gas development in the U.S. OCS and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-3 which has been developed specifically for the design of offshore wind turbine generators. The study was accomplished via the following tasks:
