Research Posters Make the whole industry aware of your research

There is not thriving industry without a strong related research to continue improving techniques and processes. It seems obvious, right? As a leading event for the offshore renewable energy industry, it only seems right for us to offer opportunities to showcase research and make it available to all players and, in this way, contribute in creating synergies between academic, public institutions and private companies of all sizes. In that perspective, Seanergy invites all academics (universities, research institutions, laboratories) & industrials to submit posters about their research, as long as an academic stakeholder is involved and it’s connected with one of the fields below.

Marine renewable energy

Floating Solar

Offshore Wind (fixed and floating)

Energy Storage

Smart Grids

Digital

Drones

SWAC & OTEC

Wind-powered maritime transport

Eco-designed materials

01 - MecaFluides: An experimental research platform in support to EMR development

Description
by Paul Tournant, Ingénieur de recherche - UNIVERSITE LE HAVRE NORMANDIE "Presentation of the MecaFluides experimental research platform specialized in marine hydrodynamics. We will present our experimental setups and two research projects: - DIKWE: Survivability of a coastal wave energy converter system. - DRACCAR: Study of wave impacts on an offshore wind turbine mast."

03 - Subsea smart hubs for floating wind

Description
by Antoine Felix-Henry, R&D Manager, AVENTA Subsea Smart Hubs project is presented. From case studies performed (66kV/132kV, 500MW/1GW, daisy-chain vs fishbone vs star IAC architectures); CAPEX (including installation) and OPEX through O&M strategies enabled by subsea hubs are compared. These will be the basis for Subsea Hubs specifications.

04 - Metocean buoys for bird monitoring

Description
by Christabel Freeman, Sales Engineer, AKROCEAN SAS The year-round in situ measurement of marine wildlife, oceanographic and metocean data via an autonomous buoy to provide an extensive analysis of avifauna and marine wildlife in future wind farm areas in harsh weather conditions and remote locations.

05 - ECOCAP: ECOtoxicology analysis of CAthodic Protections to assess the chemical risk of element released from Galvanic Anode (GACP) and Impressed Current (ICCP) on the marine environment and its food webs

Description
by Matthieu Dussauze, Researcher - FRANCE ENERGIES MARINES ECOCAP conducted a chemical risk assessment of element released from cathodic protections (GACP and ICCP) through ecotoxicological and modeling studies. ECOCAP investigated the environmental risks of anticorrosion coatings, contaminant mixtures, and potential bioaccumulation in marine food webs.

07 - Paving the way for Offshore Solar standards: Results from Delta Flume testing

Description
by Lotte Holvast, Innovation Program Manager - OCEANS OF ENERGY This research provides insights into the performance of offshore solar under real-world conditions. It highlights the need for further collaboration to build a solid scientific basis in the path towards establishing standardized testing protocols and certification schemes to scale-up the technology.

08 - DRACCAR : First French offshore research platform for offshore wind energy

Description
by Yasmine BEN BELKACEM, Ingénieure de Recherche - UNIVERSITE DU HAVRE NORMANDIE Assessing the local effects of commercial wind farms and understanding the interactions between offshore wind and the environment remain significant research challenges. This requires the long-term acquisition of field data, now made possible through a measuring mast located off the coast of Fécamp

09 - Berthing Vessels Against Wind Turbines In A Real Seastate

Description
by Laurent BARTHELEMY, Teaching & Research Staff - ENSM For vessel boarding against the ladder of an offshore wind turbine, international guidelines prescribe that 95% waves pass with no slip above one ladder rung. In order to meet such acceptability criteria, the present calculations investigate boarding under a real state, which is an irregular wave.

10 - Real-Time Monitoring and Forecasting of Bird Migration at Offshore Wind Farms

Description
by Amédée Roy, Researcher - FRANCE ENERGIES MARINES We developed a real-time bird migration observatory using French weather radars and advanced AI algorithms to forecast bird migration up to 72 hours in advance. We present our web platform for real-time visualization and migration alerts at offshore wind farm sites.

13 - Multi-Use of existing monopiles - wave and tidal energy concepts

Description
by Luca Barbetti, Product manager Blue energy - IMDC The Multi-(re)use project delivers a technical, economic, environmental and legal feasibility study for re-using (end-of-life process) the monopiles foundations of offshore wind turbines for multi-functional purposes. The objectives of the study are to increase the knowledge with respect to potential hybrid-re(use) of monopile foundations by connecting other energy production technologies (wave energy converters, tidal energy converters or floating solar panels) in combination with energy storage solutions or aquaculture concept elements.

14 - Modeling time development of scour and backfilling processes for offshore structures using CFD

Description
by Rohit Kulkarni, Engineer Advisor - IMDC This poster presents an improved CFD method in OpenFOAM to model scour hole development and backfilling more efficiently. It allows study of time development of scour for various structures, flow conditions, and sediment types by accelerating computation techniques in CFD. The approach allows for the design of cost-effective scour protection by providing better insight into temporal scour evolution. Results for time development of scour around a vertical pile under currents until equilibrium and wave-induced backfilling are validated against physical tests.

16 - LES on wind turbines by comparison of Vortex Particle Method and Finite Volume Method codes

Description
by Grégory Pinon, Professor - LOMC (CNRS UMR 6294 ET UNIVERSITE LE HAVRE NORMANDIE) This poster compares two different computational methods that analyse the flow around wind turbine. The first method uses a three-dimensional unsteady Lagrangian Vortex Particle method associated to a lifting-line. The second method uses the Finite Volume method coupled to the actuator line.
