Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
PO399: RAOs and Mooring Performance – Comparative Analysis
Adrian Herrera Batista, Mooring Coordiantor, EOLOS Floating Lidar Solutions
Abstract
This work presents a comprehensive evaluation of Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) for the EOLOS Floating LiDAR System (FLS200) under various mooring configurations. Providing a detailed comparison between the RAOs obtained for the validated mooring configurations and the RAOs generated from mooring data in public Specific Measurement Campaigns (SMC), including those conducted by NYSERDA and RVOº RAOs were derived by solving the linear equation of motion in the frequency domain, incorporating all relevant hydrodynamic forces, considering six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) motions. The buoy considered is the same in all the scenarios but different mooring systems are studied varying line materials, line lengths and water Envelopes of validated operating conditions (Surge, Sway, Heave, Pitch, Roll and Yaw) were established. In addition, key performance indicators (KPIs) were selected to quantify the degree of similarity for each mooring configuration. This approach provides a robust and reliable method for comparing different mooring arrangements and demonstrates the FLS200’s capability to operate effectively across a wide range of mooring configurations, highlighting its robustness, reliability, and stability following international guidelines. The integrated RAO–mooring assessment offers an evidence-based approach for demonstrating performance variability across different station-keeping layouts, enhancing structural integrity, operational uptime, and safety margins. The results contribute to a better understanding of mooring design sensitivities under varying configurations and provide valuable input for engineering decisions on offshore floating structures.
