Practice Recommendation

DNV-RP-0584

 

In a joint industrial project (JIP), the world's first practical recommen-
dation for floating solar power plants was developed. The
Recommended Practice (RP), which is the result of the participation of
DNV and 24 industry participants (including Blue C GmbH), contains
technical requirements and guidance for the development, reliable and sustainable design, operation and decommissioning of floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects. 

 

The Best Practice Guide was developed to ensure harmonized and high quality approaches in the development of floating solar energy projects. The focus here is on the assessment of the site condition, the energy yield forecast, anchoring systems, floating structures as well as permits and environmental impacts. The RP has been kept as technology neutral as possible to provide functional requirements and guidelines.

Offshore Wind

​

We have been involved in a number of realized projects. Our accomplishments here included performing a location-dependent scour analysis, recommendations for suitable scour protection and simulating of the wave run-up on monopiles.

  • Guanyin, Taiwan​

  • He dreiht, Germany​

  • Formosa II, Taiwan​

 

Floating Photovoltaic

​​

We have been involved in a number of realized projects of different scale. Our accomplishments here included the determination of the directional wind and wave loading for local conditions, simulating of the dynamic load effects and the structural movements for anchoring variants and anchor arrangements, modeling and evaluation of the FPV system movements and shifts as well as the load distribution in the anchors for high and low water levels​, dimensioning and design of the anchoring components based on load effects and load combinations according to valid standards.

Aquaculture

​

We have been involved in projects with a wide range of applications. Our accomplishments here included the development of offshore seaweed farms​, simulating of the movement and loads of offshore seaweed farms​ and the design of all relevant system components such as seaweed, mooring, anchor and buoyancy devices.
