The development within the offshore wind energy sector towards
more powerful turbines combined with increasing water depth
for new wind parks is challenging both, the designer as well as
the manufacturer of support structures. Besides XL-monopiles
the jacket support structure is a reasonable alternative due to the
high rigidity combined with low material consumption. However,
the effort for manufacturing of the hollow section joints reduces
the economic potential of jacket structures significantly. Therefore,
a changeover from an individual towards a serial production
based on automated manufactured tubular joints combined with
standardized pipes has to be achieved. Hence, this paper addresses
the welding process chain of automated manufactured
tubular joints including digitization of the relevant manufacturing parameters such as laser scanning of the weld seam geometry.
In diesem Vortrag werden aktuellen Forschungsarbeiten bezüglich der Digitalisierung der schweißtechnischen Fertigungskette dargestellt. Anwendungsbeispiel ist das automatisierte Schweißen von Hohlprofilknoten, welche für die Fertigung von Jacket-Gründungsstrukturen für Offshore Windenergieanlagen eingesetzt werden. Besonderer Fokus liegt hierbei auf der Datenübergabe an nachgelagerter Prozessschritte bzw. externe Forschungspartner. Die Rückverfolgbarkeit des Fertigungsprozesses ermöglicht die zeitliche und räumliche Zuordnung von Prozessparametern (elektrische Signale) zu geometrischen Eigenschaften der Schweißnaht (Kerbgeometrie) bis hin zur numerisch berechneten Lebensdauer.
A significant number of new wind farms has to be installed and, at the same time, existing wind farms reaching the end of their planned life need to be reused efficiently to ensure that the ambitous goals for deploying offshore wind are met. Some relevant reuse alternatives for offshore wind farms are lifetime extension, repowering utilizing existing substructures and full replacement. In this presentation - starting from experience gained from extending the lifetime of the of the U1 metro viaduct in Berlin - we discuss end-of-life decision making in offshore wind. We focus particularly on issues concerning substructures and highlight existing challenges and opprtunities in research and development.
