DNV launches an industry initiative to design wind farms for earthquake zones

It is a follow-up to the previous Hurricane and Earthquake Mitigation Challenges (ACE) JIP and will include a more detailed investigation of earthquake-related issues.

The independent energy expert and assurance provider said the collaborative industry efforts will focus on geotechnical aspects and aim to increase the financial strength of future wind farms in these regions of high seismic activity.

“When we look at projections for installed offshore wind capacity worldwide, we expect Asia to overtake Europe in the 2030s and North America in the 2040s,” explained Kim Sandgaard-Mørk, Executive Vice President of Renewables Certification at DNV. “Especially in Asia and the United States, wind turbines and offshore substations must be designed to withstand challenging conditions such as earthquakes.”

Geotechnical aspects covered by the so-called ACE2 JIP include damping and liquefaction, crane installation vessels, seismic load analysis details, and specific Taiwanese and Japanese needs. The results will be used to update the DNV-RP-0585 Seismic Design Recommended Practice for Wind Power Plants, which was published in August 2021.

Markus Klose, Head of Steel Structures at DNV, said the project addresses a common industrial challenge. “One of our areas of focus will be the conditions in Japan,” he said. “Japan has the sixth-longest coastline in the world, with ambitious government targets to install 10 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030. Special attention must therefore be given to typhoon, earthquake, and tsunami risks in the project design life cycle.” “The results will help accelerate discussions and project decisions in all relevant markets,” he added.

Companies joining DNV at the ACE2 JIP inaugural meeting included CDEE, Equinor, Jan de Null, Kajima, Obayashi, Ørsted, Penta-Ocean, Shell, Shimizu, Siemens Gamesa, Taisei, Van Oord and Vestas.
