Research Abstract

Concept of the sailing type offshore wind power plant is that the structure moves by sails around Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone pursuing to maximize obtained wind energy. Obtained energy is transferred to the hydrogen and carried by shuttle tankers. The length of planed structure is very large and its length is around 2,000 meters. Thus, the maneuverability during the sailing, and structural strength for safe navigation were uncertain. These problems are focused on in this study, and are solved by means of model experiment and numerical simulation.
