EFGL Floating Wind Engineering and Construction Support

Les Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe de Lion (EFGL) project features three 10 MW offshore wind turbines on three WindFloat® Floating Platforms, 16 kilometers from the coast of Leucate and Le Barcares in the French Mediterranean.

Lanza Engineers supported Principle Power during design and execution phase of the EFGL Project with the following engineering work:

• Global Strength Analysis (GSA) of the Floating Platform
• Global Fatigue Analysis (GFA) of the Floating Platform
• Detail Engineering of Secondary and Tertiary Structures on the Floating Platform
• Engineering support during fabrication stage

All the structural analysis mentioned above have been performed in ANSYS. All the post-processing of results was carried out with Python, Matlab and MathCad tools developed in-house.
