Engineering Design

A critical phase in the development of offshore wind turbines, during which the preliminary design concept is refined and transformed into a detailed engineering plan.

Front End Engineering Design (FEED) is a critical phase in the development of offshore wind turbines, during which the preliminary design concept is refined and transformed into a detailed engineering plan with the technical specifications to fulfill all requirements for the successful implementation of the project. A thorough and well-executed FEED process is essential to ensure that the project is executed on time, on budget, and with positive impacts on the environment and surrounding communities.

JB Energy provides you with independent FEED expertise to deliver customized and cost-efficient solutions for your offshore wind project. We can adapt our proprietary products to a myriad of situations or devise brand-new solutions to better suit your needs, ensuring the highest levels of quality and efficiency.

Design of fixed and floating wind turbines

With a deep understanding of the complex physics behind offshore wind turbines, we employ state-of-the-art tools and techniques to perform numerical and experimental analyses of the whole system, taking into account the couplings between aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, structures, control, and moorings. This expertise allows us to accurately predict loads and responses to assess global performance and carry out structural design, ensuring a system that is optimized for safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Installation analysis

We perform detailed assessments of the installation process, taking into account all relevant aspects such as vessel motions, lifting operations, environmental conditions, and project-specific requirements to identify potential issues. By performing advanced simulations and feasibility studies, we can identify the most efficient and safe installation strategies, ensuring a smooth and trouble-free operation.

Wind farm layout optimization

We work closely with clients to design wind farm layouts that are optimized for maximum energy production and cost-effectiveness. We use advanced modeling and analysis tools to evaluate different layout options, taking into account factors such as site conditions, environmental impact, atmospheric conditions, and wake interactions.

Analysis of moorings and cables

Drawing from decades of experience in the O&G industry, including the complex challenges presented by exploiting the ultra-deep waters offshore Brazil, we are capable of analyzing and designing moorings and cable systems by performing dynamic simulations to compute loads and motions. We are particularly experienced with VIV (Vortex Induced Vibrations) analyses, as our team includes some of the leading experts in the field.

Design review

As an independent company, we can provide unbiased design review and verification, assuring that your project meets international standards and local regulations. We conduct a thorough assessment of technical and economical aspects, always looking for possible improvements and ensuring that the solution at hand is indeed the best available.
