Despite its huge potential, floating offshore wind technology has not reached commercial maturity yet and numerous problems remain to be investigated. A major knowledge gap exists regarding the dynamic behavior of freely moving inter-array cables, that link turbines. This work presents a design approach based on genetic algorithm. No publications this topic were done before. The hybrid MATLAB-OrcaFlex tool considers fatigue life, performance in extreme weather events economic evaluation...
Abstract The rapid emergence of the floating offshore wind sector requires development new technologies such as dynamic inter-array cables. This work gives an insight into hydrostatic predesign a cable system looking from side view. Numerical analyses are performed to compare two umbilical shapes, namely catenary and lazy wave shape. In parametric study, water depth length varied. As outcome, unique generalized recommendation for first design is presented. Finally, outlook analysis...
ABSTRACT A revolution is happening that triggered by a brave new world made interconnected devices. The internet of things already reality creating business opportunities across different industrial sectors. Communication service providers have major opportunity to shape this leading transformation. For that, they need evolve their existing architectures enable flexible creation advanced services over distributed networks, interconnecting heterogeneous sensors and actuators. This paper...
To fully cope with the requirements of innovative 5G use cases, evolving business models and flexible networking scenarios spanning multiple administrative domains are envisioned. In this context, transparent trusted frameworks that enable network service providers infrastructure to advertise, negotiate acquire, in real time, resources services, distributed over various geographical areas, extremely valuable. address goal, emerging Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) arise as well-suited...
Ocean energy is a relevant source of clean renewable energy, and as it still facing challenges related to its above grid-parity costs, tariffs intended support in structured coherent way are great relevance potential impact. The logistics marine operations required for installing maintaining these systems major cost drivers projects. Planning the projects highly complex intertwined process, date, limited advances have been made development decision tools suitable ocean farm design. present...
Today we use smartphones and personal computers everywhere to communicate in ways made possible by the ubiquity of Internet: exchange emails instant messages, make voice video calls participate social media. WebRTC furthers possibilities audio communications true peer-to-peer as it brings these capabilities also an universal platform: browser. But communication is more than just or sharing, about providing features capable filling distance void. have sensors that can provide data enrich...
This paper introduces a new communication paradigm called Decentralized Communications, which enables cross-domain services to trustfully use peer-to-peer networks. Communication are inherently inter-operable without the need standardize protocols or service APIs. property is achieved by using Protocol-on-the-fly concept and Reporter-Observer pattern. Users can select Identity Providers mutually authenticate themselves secure communications, independently of Service Provider. Communications...
This article presents the results of WebRTC trials conducted in a partnership between Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T-Labs) and PT Inovacao e Sistemas under project called WONDER. The main achievement WONDER was design validation new "Signalling-On-the-fly" (SigOfly) concept. concept ensures interoperability any administrative domains without need to use standardized signalling protocol such as SIP. result paves way for more agile competitive service architecture an alternative current...
The European Atlantic Ocean offers a high potential for marine renewable energy (MRE), which is targeted to be at least 32% of the EU’s gross final consumption by 2030. Commission supporting development ocean sector through an array activities and policies: Green Deal, Energy Union, Strategic Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Sustainable Blue Economy Strategy. nascent status MRE Wave (WE) in particular, yields many unknowns about its environmental pressures impacts. Converters’ (WECs) operation...
