The HSS-WIND project investigates the use of high-strength steel in offshore wind structures to reduce weight and enhance structural resilience. This approach aims to lower costs and improve installation efficiency for wind farms in deeper waters, addressing challenges posed by traditional materials.
Currently, offshore wind structures are constructed using normal strength steel members with yield strength of around 355 MPa.
Larger section sizes are required to resist the higher load levels encountered in progressively deeper waters.
This substantially increases cost, complicates logistics, generates installation difficulties, and causes greater environmental impacts. HSS material has the twin advantages of reducing the self-weight of structures and accruing associated cost savings.
