Study on Wear Estimation and Wear Reduction of the Floating Offshore Wind Observation System "Buoy Lidar"

In this study, a wear amount estimation method is investigated using the data obtained from 2nd Demonstration Experiment of wind observation system off coast Sakata, floating platform including mooring to reduce optimized by method. First, condition lines and it found that at point on buoy side largest. Next, cause higher progress than expected design speed numerical calculations, confirmed proportionality constant in evaluation formula proposed Takeuchi et al. changed according sea conditions, equation determined. Finally, line, can be reduced adjusting length line or reduction weight
