Abstract:
Objective Japan has been among the pioneering nations in developing FOWT technology. Its wealth of experience in technology and industry development holds significant reference value for China.
Method This paper reviewed the early development history of floating offshore wind power technology in Japan. By reviewing its research progress in numerical simulation, dynamic submarine cables, mooring systems and floating structure design of floating offshore wind power, as well as practical experience from multiple prototype demonstration projects.
Result It summarizes and analyzes the technical challenges faced by the research and development of floating offshore wind power, the special risks that need to be considered in demonstration projects, and the challenges that still need to be overcome to achieve commercial application. It provides reference for the development of floating offshore wind power technology in China.
Conclusion It is believed that it is necessary to improve the accuracy of simulation design, optimize mooring design and construction technology, break through dynamic submarine cable anti settlement technology, and system post operation and maintenance technology to reduce overall costs, in order to achieve the commercial development of floating wind power.
