Workpackages
WP1: Project Management & Coordination.
WP1: Project Management & Coordination. This work package will implement an efficient organizational structure, which entails project planning, coordination, communication and quality assessment to satisfy the objectives of FLOTANT in the most effective way. WP leader: PLOCAN. The objectives are: Handling project correspondence and day-to-day requests from partners. Establish and operate the project intranet. Compile
WP2: Anchoring and Mooring Design.
WP2: Anchoring and Mooring Design. WP2 will advance new innovative mooring and anchoring components to overcome the challenges identified for deep waters (100-600m). Designs, adjustments and installation process will ensure reliable, sustainable and cost effective mooring and anchoring system from TRL3 to TRL5. WP leader: TFI MARINE. The objectives are: Combine anchoring solutions for mooring
WP3: Dynamis Cables, Subsea Connectors and Export System Optimization.
WP3: Dynamis Cables, Subsea Connectors and Export System Optimization. WP3: Dynamis Cables, Subsea Connectors and Export System Optimization. This WP will develop innovative dynamic power cable solutions and corresponding connectors providing an optimized export system for deep water FOW farms. Enhanced designs, modelling tools and assessment on manufacturing processes will enable the integration of technology
WP4: Floater Specifications, Integrated Modelling and Global Performance.
WP4: Floater Specifications, Integrated Modelling and Global Performance. This WP will perform the integrated modelling of the mooring, anchoring and power cable systems developed in WP2 and WP3 to simúlate the global performance with a novel hybrid concrete/plastic floater design. The integral system pursues to reduce the overall costs and alleviate the load son the
WP5: Prototype Testing and Field Demostration.
WP5: Prototype Testing and Field Demostration. This WP will characterise and verify the performance of individual components (mooring cable, polymer spring, dynamic cable and connectors) developed within WP2 & WP3 and the global behaviour of the integral floating system designed in WP4. Three relevant environments have been selected to perform the tests: MARIN basin for
WP6: Operation & Maintenance Strategies, Sensorisation & Monitoring.
WP6: Operation & Maintenance Strategies, Sensorisation & Monitoring. WP6 will improve Installation techniques, Offshore operations, Marine management and O&M techniques in deep waters (100m-600m) assessing potential cost savings and impacts on O&M strategies. WP leader: UNEXE. The objectives are: Develop an integrated control and monitoring system able to visualise and monitor real time data during
WP7: IMPACTS: Techno-economic, environmental and socio-economic impact assessments.
WP7: IMPACTS: Techno-economic, environmental and socio-economic impact assessments. This WP will gather all the information from the technical work packages (WP2-WP5) in order to analyse its influence under a techno-economic, environmental, societal and social perspective. This will help in de-risking and reducing the uncertainties on the development of FLOTANT solutions and finding the business opportunities
WP8: Certification, IPR Management, Business Plan & Commercilaization Strategy.
WP7: IMPACTS: Techno-economic, environmental and socio-economic impact assessments. WP8 will prepare a detailed industrial business and commercialization plan of the FLOTANT Project results in order to ensure that the knowledge and results generated within the project are brought closer to the market and commercialized to the best benefit of all partners. Before reaching the market,
WP9: Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation (CDE) Activities.
WP9: Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation (CDE) Activities. This WP will facilitate the engagement of stakeholders in the co-design process as well as exploitation of results. Consortium will reach its target audience through communication, dissemination and exploitation of its results building the base for legacy, sustainability and social acceptance. WP leader: PLOCAN. The objectives are: Implement
