Thesis type MASTER THESIS
Description Airborne systems present a compelling scenario in onshore conditions, having already demonstrated significant potential. The drive to minimise extensive onshore infrastructure development, coupled with the opportunity to harness even greater potential similar to traditional wind turbines, is steering airborne systems towards exploring offshore conditions. However, unlike the onshore design of the operational ground base for these technologies, designing for offshore conditions presents substantial challenges due to the marine environment hostility.
The candidate will undertake a comprehensive analysis of the forces exerted on floating structures in marine environments. This involves elucidating the relationship between these forces and the mechanical stresses experienced by the devices. The ultimate aim is to design and optimise the system, targeting cost reduction.
