This paper discusses the development and analysis of a novel design for 10-turbine floating wind farm with shared mooring lines. Shared lines tether adjacent platforms together, reducing number anchors required but increasing system complexity. We present systematic, multistage process systems, involving linearized array layout options, quasi-static line optimization, refinement based on couple...

The automatic positioning control of mooring system for deepwater semi-submersible platform has become a key issue in the research and development field of deep-sea resources. The DualStage Actuator (DSA) proposed in this paper can replace the single actuator to achieve the high speed and high precision positioning by cooperative control. The relative model and control algorithm of motion traje...

The ANTARES high energy neutrino telescope is a three-dimensional array of about 900 photomultipliers distributed over 12 mooring lines installed in the Mediterranean Sea. Between February and November 2007 it acquired data in a 5 -line confi guration. The zenith angular distribution of the atmospheric muon fl ux and the associated depth-intensity relation are measured and compared with previou...

Abstract A field measurement campaign was conducted in the North Lock of IJmuiden, which density distribution lock chamber and resulting mooring forces were measured. The innovative system ShoreTension applied a navigation for first time to investigate possible ways increase safety process. Density measurements provided valuable insight governing hydraulic processes during levelling lock-exchan...
