Mooring Matters: The C-Streams Project

Oct 20, 2023

Mooring Matters - C-Streams Project - October 2023 Comparison

This month’s technical highlight discusses the C-Streams Project – Studying How the Gulf Stream Affects the Climate System.

The C-Streams Project is a collaborative research project by The University of Liverpool, the University of Miami, the National Oceanography Center, the Scottish Association for Marine Science, and the British Antarctic Survey.

The project deployed a variety of scientific instrumentation into the Gulf Stream on a customized DeepWater Buoyancy StableMoor® Mooring Buoy. The C-Streams Project team will use these instruments to monitor the flow of carbon and nutrients in the Gulf Stream. Project scientists hope the results will provide insight into the Gulf Stream’s role in the ocean carbon cycle and how it affects global climate change.

The C-Streams Project

The C-Streams Project is a four-year, £4 million collaborative research project supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the US National Science Foundation (NSF).

Headed by Professor Ric Williams of The University of Liverpool, the C-Streams Project will observe how the current speed, turbulence, and other factors can affect carbon and nutrient circulation in the Atlantic Ocean.

Most ocean carbon exchange occurs through two mechanisms:

Phytoplankton photosynthesis, which requires nutrient-dense water
Chemical exchange between seawater and atmospheric carbon dioxide

By observing the flow of nutrients and carbon in the Gulf Stream under varying conditions, the C-Stream Project seeks a deeper understanding of these dynamic carbon exchange processes.

“We will use this data alongside the latest state-of-the-art ocean and climate models to provide us with some answers as to how the Gulf Stream affects the carbon cycle, a hitherto ignored aspect of the climate problem,” explains Professor Ric Williams.

The Deployment

Deploying sensitive instrumentation in the turbulent Gulf Stream involves significant coordination between scientists, mooring specialists, sailors, and engineers. Instruments require stability to ensure consistent readings, which means a mooring system capable of withstanding the Atlantic Ocean’s changeable and sometimes violent weather.

To launch the C-Streams Project, scientists successfully deployed two DeepWater Buoyancy StableMoor® Mooring Buoys holding a variety of scientific instrumentation into the Gulf Stream through the Florida Straits.

Thanks to the captain and crew of the Walton Smith, principal scientist Professor Lisa Beal (University of Miami), the mooring expertise of Eduardo Jardim (University of Miami), Dr. Pete Brown and Darren Rayner (National Oceanography Centre), and the project research team, the launch went smoothly.

The team also deployed three biogeochemical moorings designed by Darren Rayner. These additional moorings included buoys, sensors, and autonomous vehicles.

Over the next four years, the deployed equipment will obtain data, take measurements, and collect samples to assess how the Gulf Stream current affects nutrients and carbon transport. The C-Stream Project team will analyze this information to determine whether the Gulf Current’s interactions enhance or inhibit the ocean’s carbon dioxide uptake.

The Buoy

It takes a special buoy to provide a stable platform for instrumentation in high-speed ocean currents like the Gulf Stream. Specifically engineered for these types of applications, DeepWater Buoyancy’s StableMoor® buoys provide excellent mooring stability in extreme flow environments.

With a tapered cylindrical design, the StableMoor® reduces drag and minimizes mooring inclination and excursions. The decreased frontal area provides superior dynamic stability in high current areas compared to traditional spherical buoys. A high-strength GRP tail and stainless-steel mooring swivel ensure optimal flexibility and stability in the Gulf Stream’s strong, changeable currents.

David Capotosto, DeepWater Buoyancy’s Director of Business Development, is excited to see how the project evolves. “It is always amazing to see how ocean scientists and engineers utilize our products,” he says. “This project showcases our team’s ability to deliver on our design philosophy: to provide our end users with a product that is fit to their application.”

Mooring Matters: Fixed vs. Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

Jul 25, 2023

For the next installment in our series of technical articles, we have asked our colleagues at Tekmar Group to give us a primer on Fixed versus Floating Offshore Wind Turbines.

The article looks at the benefits and challenges of each.

Harnessing the Power of the Winds

As the world transitions towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, offshore wind power has emerged as a critical player in the renewable energy sector. While fixed offshore wind turbines have been the predominant choice for harnessing wind energy over the years, recent advancements have introduced a new contender: floating offshore wind turbines.

This article will explore the differences between fixed and floating offshore wind turbines, examining their advantages, challenges, and potential for revolutionizing renewable energy generation.

Fixed Offshore Wind Turbines: Stability and Reliability

Fixed Offshore Wind Turbines, as the name suggests, have a direct rigid connection to the seabed, so they are ‘fixed’ in a permanent static position. These structures consist of large wind turbines mounted on monopile, jacket, or gravity-based foundations, typically installed in water depths up to 60 meters. Fixed turbines have been widely deployed across Europe, where the industry has rapidly matured.

One of the significant advantages of Fixed Offshore Wind Turbines is their stability. Being directly fixed to the seabed provides a stable static structure, allowing these turbines to withstand harsh weather conditions, including strong winds and rough seas. Fixed turbines offer relatively straightforward installation and maintenance due to their permanent positioning. This factor reduces maintenance costs and reliability, enabling consistent power generation compared to more dynamic structures.

Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Graphic

Floating Offshore Wind Turbines: Unlocking Deep Waters

On the other hand, Floating Offshore Wind Turbines offer a solution to harness wind energy in deeper waters, where fixed turbines are impractical. These turbines are not static or directly affixed to the seabed but moored in place using offset anchors or foundations and mooring lines. Floating turbines are particularly suitable for water depths exceeding 60 meters and can operate in areas with challenging seabed conditions.

One of the primary advantages of floating offshore wind turbines is their ability to tap into wind resources in locations inaccessible for fixed turbines. This opens up vast areas of deep waters worldwide for wind energy development. Floating turbines also benefit from stronger and more consistent winds found farther offshore, leading to potentially higher energy production. Moreover, installing floating turbines further from the shore reduces visual impacts and mitigates potential conflicts with other marine activities.

Challenges and Innovations

While both Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbines have advantages, they also face distinct challenges. For fixed turbines, the major limitation lies in water depth constraints, limiting their deployment to relatively shallow waters.

Although promising, floating offshore wind turbines face challenges related to their relatively nascent stage of development. The technology requires further refinements to enhance stability, reduce costs, and improve power output. However, significant progress has been made in recent years, with several pilot projects and demonstration sites showcasing the potential of floating turbines. Innovative floating foundation designs offer improved stability and reduced motion on high seas.

Future Prospects

The emergence of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines presents exciting possibilities for expanding wind energy capacity. Countries with limited shallow coastal areas can tap into abundant wind resources by venturing into deeper waters. Additionally, advancements in floating turbine technology are expected to lead to cost reductions, increased reliability, and scalability.

Meanwhile, Fixed Offshore Wind Turbines continue to be a reliable and maturing technology that has proven its worth over the years. They will likely remain dominant for near-shore projects and regions with suitable seabed conditions.

A Long History

Over the years DeepWater Buoyancy has worked closely with and Teledyne RDI to design and produce a full line of deployment products. In fact, the very first ADCP buoy was made by the company’s predecessor, Flotation Technologies, back in 1986.

Since then, DeepWater Buoyancy’s customized buoys and frames have been coupled with Teledyne RDI’s quality precision ADCPs to provide industry professionals with an array of solutions to collect highly accurate data for coastal and offshore applications. This partnership follows decades of joint design and development efforts to meet the needs of their mutual clients around the globe.

A Recent Collaboration

When the Teledyne RDI Product Development Team was developing the Pinnacle ADCP, DeepWater Buoyancy worked closely with them to ensure fit and functionality with existing buoys. This allowed for full compatibility with end users’ existing inventory of buoys. In addition to ensuring that the products worked, DeepWater Buoyancy developed a full conversion kit that included a custom frame (required for the unique beam pattern), a replacement buoy clamp that doubled as a lifting tool, and a unique Buoy Lifting Strap System.

DeepWater Buoyancy Chosen for Strohm TCP Jumper

Dec 7, 2021

DeepWater Buoyancy & Tekmar Group Sign MOU

DeepWater Buoyancy Joins Tekmar Energy in Support of Strohm’s first “TCP” Jumper

DeepWater Buoyancy, Inc, in partnership with Tekmar Group (AIM: TGP), is pleased to announce that it has been chosen to design, manufacture, and supply buoyancy in support of Strohm’s first-of-its-kind, spoolable Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) Jumper.

About the Project

Strohm (previously Airborne Oil & Gas), the world’s first and leading manufacturer of fully-bonded TCP, was awarded a contract earlier this year to supply a first-of-its-kind spoolable TCP Jumper to connect a subsea vehicle to the vertical transport system of a newly converted deep-water polymetallic nodule collection vessel. The vehicle will operate to depths of 4500 msw.

Strohm Chief Operating Officer Martin van Onna said: “TCP is a lightweight, corrosion-free, versatile technology used to support many different applications across multiple underwater sectors in varying depths. Ensuring the stability and security of the TCP Jumper with a subsea protection and buoyancy solution that is completely reliable and equally as durable as our product, is extremely important to the success of the project. Tekmar is a market leader with a sustainability focus that aligns with our own energy transition strategy. We look forward to working together”.

Working with Tekmar

Tekmar Energy has been chosen by Strohm to supply Bend Stiffeners, Ballast Modules, and Buoyancy Modules for the TCP solution to ensure it does not exceed load and bend design limitations. Tekmar Energy will manufacture the Bend Stiffeners and Ballast Modules at their Newton Aycliffe facility in the North East of England. DeepWater Buoyancy will manufacture the Buoyancy Modules in Maine USA under a recently-signed agreement with Tekmar Group plc.

Gary Howland, Group Sales Director at Tekmar Group commented: “Tekmar Energy is delighted to have been chosen by Strohm to protect this exciting project. We look forward to working with Strohm and to strengthening our relationship. We are also thrilled to secure a contract in partnership with DeepWater Buoyancy. The award demonstrates how working together enables us to offer customers a broader range of solutions and technologies”.

DeepWater Buoyancy Tekmar Strohm TCP Distributed Buoyancy

Module Design

The modules are designed as distributed buoyancy to create a “lazy wave” in a section of the pipe. This creates compliance in the system, minimizing stress on the TCP. The design is similar to that used in the company’s product line for other offshore energy applications such as, Jumper Buoyancy, Umbilical Buoyancy, Buckle Mitigation Buoyancy, and Buoyancy for Floating Offshore Wind Cables.

The modules have a buoyant core of high-performance DeepTec® syntactic foam within a custom, rotationally-molded polyethylene shell. The modules are designed with an integral elastomeric clamping system that allows them to remain securely in place, resisting both axial and torsional loads. The elastomeric system also accommodates changes in the diameter and shape of the TCP during deployment, operation, and recovery.
