A new concept and a preliminary study for a monocolumn floating unit are introduced, aimed at exploring and producing oil in ultradeep waters. This platform, which combines two relevant features-great oil storage capacity ...

Floating platforms at the hydropower plant reservoirs are attractive sites for aquaculture, fishing and other recreational activities. However, the unregulated construction of these platforms may negatively affect the ...

Experiments regarding vortex-induced vibration on floating circular cylinders with low aspect ratio were carried out in a recirculation water channel. The floating circular cylinders were elastic supported by a set of ...

This work presents an analysis of an ocean wave energy harvesting system. This system is composed of a direct current (DC) power generator attached at the middle-top of a floating platform. A pendulum is connected to the ...

This paper discusses the experimental campaign conducted by CEHINAV-UPM research group as request of IBERDROLA within the OCEAN LIDER RD project framework. The purpose of the campaign has been the hydrodynamic performance ...

Vortex-induced motions (VIM) of floating structures are very relevant for the design of mooring and riser systems. In the design phase, spar and monocolumn VIM behavior, as well as semisubmersible and tension leg platform ...

Este Proyecto consiste en presentar nuevas formas de combinar energías alternativas con la industria petrolera utilizando plantas solares fluctuantes a un sistema de bombeo electro-sumergible en una plataforma flotante. ...
