Strategic Objectives
• Understand the complex interplay between aerodynamic loads and hydrodynamic forces.
• Master the stability mechanics of high-center-of-gravity buoyant structures.
• Explore cutting-edge mooring and anchoring technologies for deepwater environments.
• Learn to mitigate structural fatigue caused by aero-hydro-elastic coupling.
The Core Challenge
Traditional wind turbines are tethered to the shore, but the strongest winds blow where the ocean is deepest, creating a massive engineering challenge of stability and scale.
