Energia eólica, offshore, modelagem, protótipos, flutuadoresResumo
Este estudo apresenta uma abordagem experimental para o desenvolvimento de flutuadores utilizados na geração de energia eólica offshore, com foco na modelagem 3D e em testes em tanque para avaliação hidrostática. Inspirado em pesquisas anteriores da Universidade de Edimburgo, o estudo propõe um processo iterativo de design e teste de protótipos impressos em PLA. Três diferentes modelos de flutuadores foram desenvolvidos e avaliados quanto à flutuabilidade, estabilidade e capacidade de suporte de carga associada a estruturas de turbinas eólicas. Os resultados mostraram que a geometria oca com volume aumentado apresentou desempenho superior em termos de flutuabilidade e estabilidade, conforme validado por meio de experimentos em tanque d’água. Esses achados ressaltam a relevância da combinação entre modelagem numérica e prototipagem física para aprimorar o projeto de estruturas flutuantes em ambientes offshore.
