Marine Renewable Projects
TTI and TTI Marine Renewables (TTI-MR) Ltd boasts a long-standing reputation in the design and development of advanced mooring systems for the marine renewables sector, including tidal, wave, and floating wind technologies.
Our team of highly skilled naval architects, engineers, and material specialists bring decades of experience in the design, development, testing, and qualification of mooring systems that are critical to the success of marine renewable energy projects.
Having collaborated with many pioneers of this technology, we are proud to contribute to the ongoing evolution of the industry. Our expertise ensures that we meet the unique demands of each project, providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for the renewable energy's sector in the harshest marine environments.
We continue to push the boundaries of innovation to create mooring systems that support the sustainable energy solutions of tomorrow.
Cost, Risk and Failure Implications of Different Mooring Spreads and Number of Mooring Lines for FOWT
AIMS
The aim of this project was to investigate the implications of different mooring system topologies on the cost, risk and failure performance of FWT arrays comprising 15MW turbines. Two hypothetical scenarios involving 0.9GW arrays located in 100m (NE of Aberdeen) and 500m (West of Shetland) water depths were considered.
Technology Qualification for FOWT Moorings and Anchoring Systems
AIMS
The aims of this project were to:
Review existing sector technology qualification (TQ) processes;
Conduct three mooring system TQ case studies to demonstrate the application of qualification process and extract learning outcomes;
Develop a framework for TQ of FWT mooring and anchoring components, sub-systems and systems;
Examine infrastructure and resources required for TQ activities in the sector;
Review available infrastructure and facilities available in UK and Europe and identify gaps
Durability assessment of mooring chains and design optimisation of mooring systems for floating offshore wind turbines
Aims
To demonstrate the feasibility of a nylon taut mooring system for two 2MW FWTs, situated off the west coast of Japan (Goto Island), through analysis and field testing. Carry out feasibility design studies on a larger-scale system (10MW+).
IMPACT Project – FEED for Offshore Fish Pen Prototype
Aims
The overall technical objective was to complete the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and mitigate key risks for the design of an innovative offshore fish pen on behalf of Irish technology owner Impact9
