Hydraulic Model Tests with Scour Protection around Off-Shore Wind Turbine Foundations

Hydraulic Model Tests with Scour Protection around Off-Shore Wind Turbine Foundations

In connection with the construction of the Nysted (Rødsand) offshore wind farm, an experimental study of the erosion protection around the turbine foundations has been carried out. The project has determined comparative erosion depths around different foundation types placed on sand. In addition, tests have been carried out with the proposed erosion protection. The project has been carried out for SEAS Distribution, the Wind Power Department and Carl Bro Anlæg A/S. (Peter Frigaard, Morten Kramer, Tue Hald).
