La Turballe (FRANCE)
Client : BRLi
Date of completion : 2019
In the context of the development of a wind turbine hub to support the expansion of offshore commercial wind farms, Globocean has performed a metocean desktop study in order to design the protection structures of the harbour of La Turballe and to check the operability of the dedicated berths.
The following steps were successively performed :
Offshore wave modelling (WaveWatchIII software)
Configuration and execution of a nearshore wave propagation model (SWAN Software)
Validation of the wave propagation model against wave measurements (Candhis buoy network)
Sensitivity of the wave propagation to the tidal levels and currents
Propagation of swell and wind-sea extreme and usual scenarios
