Assessment of the wind and wave regimes for the design of offshore wind turbines

Updated: Jun 29, 2023

Port La Nouvelle (FRANCE)

 

Client : CREOCEAN

Date of completion : 2020



For the design study of a wind farm off Port-La-Nouvelle in the Western Mediterranean Sea, Globocean has provided the site specific wind and wave statistical conditions.


The following steps have been successively realized for the realization of this study :


  • Modelling of the offshore sea-states in the Gulf of Lion (WaveWatchIII software)

  • Validation of the offshore wave modelling against offshore buoys (buoy MétéoFrance #61002 and buoy installed on the project site)

  • Comparison against other pre-defined wave databases in grid point (IOWAGA)

  • Uni-variate and Bi-variate extreme analysis of winds and waves (EVA process and KDE iso-value contours)

  • Usual statistical analysis

  • NSS Spectral analysis
