3、 Installations. It addresses three principal areas: the Floating Support Structure, the stationkeeping system, and onboard machinery, equipment and systems including applicable marine systems and associated equipment and machinery, safety systems and associated equipment, and lifesaving appliances a

4、nd machinery. The criteria applicable to bottom-founded offshore wind turbine support structures and foundations are provided in the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Bottom-Founded Offshore Wind Turbine Installations (BOWTI Guide). Requirements for ancillary offshore wind farm installations such

5、as meteorological measuring towers, accommodation units, and transformer platforms are not addressed in this Guide. For the requirements for bottom-founded ancillary offshore wind farm installations, refer to the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Offshore Installations. The requirements applicable

6、 to floating ancillary offshore wind farm installations are provided in the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Units and the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations. This revision incorporates the following changes: 1-1/5 A new optional class notion for

7、 the Rotor-Nacelle Assembly (RNA) is offered. 4-2/3.3 Requirements are aligned with the new Appendix 2 for hurricane wind added to the BOWTI Guide. 4-6/17 Guidance is provided on how the site assessment should be done with regard to electric network conditions. 5-2/3.1 The requirement of considering

8、 the effect of malfunction of control systems on the integrity of the structural and stationkeeping system is clarified. 5-2/Table 1 Additional requirements are provided for considering the directionality of wind and wave that may cause misaligned wave and wind conditions. A new design load case (ne

9、w DLC 8.2) is added to account for possible fatigue damage during the temporary phase. 5-2/Table 2 Further clarification is made of the condition of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Installations in the robustness check. 6-1/1.1 and 6-2/1.1 Reference is made to the new ABS Guidance Notes on Global Per

10、formance Analysis for Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Installations. 7-2/Table 2 The fatigue design factor (FDF) is modified to address the unintended application of FDF = 1 to the non-critical, inspectable and repairable hull structures at or below the splash zone. 8-1/11 A new Subsection is added t

11、o provide guidance on designing the non-redundant stationkeeping systems 8-3/Table 1 The safety factor for Damaged condition with one broken line is modified to better reflect actual practice. 8-3/7 The case when the mooring line or tendon is over-designed (i.e., has higher than required breaking st

12、rength) for causes other than strength requirements is clarified. The design load used for the design of mooring hardware may be based on a value smaller than the breaking strength of the mooring lines or tendons. In such case, the maximum mooring/tendon tension multiplied by the safety factors defi

13、ned in the Guide can be used. 8-3/9 A new Subsection is added to provide guidance on how to account for the corrosion/wear in the design of mooring components. 8-5/9 and 8-5/11 Two new Subsections are added to provide general guidance and design criteria for Suction Embedded Plate Anchor and Dynamic

14、ally Installed Pile Anchor. ABSGUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE INSTALLATIONS .2015 iii 9-2/5.3 The case when pre-approved procedures (repair, tow, etc.) are in place in lieu of installing pumps/blowers in the compartment is clarified. 10-1/11 The requirements for safet

15、y outfitting for unmanned Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Installations are revised. Appendix 1 A new Appendix is added that provides guidance on fatigue analysis of support structures. Various other changes are made to clarify the requirements. This Guide becomes effective on the first day of the mo
