Nacelle transport frame

Design and verification of nacelle transport frame for nacelle SG11/12 193-DD + SG 14 222/236-DD (MkV+MkVI), and transport frame for the next platform (MkVII).

The task included:

  • Concept study and evaluation.
  • Development through DFMEA and stakeholder alignments and manufacturer input.
  • Determination of load scenarios from manufacturing of nacelle to installation. This includes SPMT transport, sea transport, test scenarios, accidental short circuit, storage and seismic activity.
  • Determination of SPMT setup, sea fastening and load spreading/foot print loads.
  • Structural verification of strength, fatigue, steel sub-grade and buckling according to Eurocode, DNV-ST-N001.
  • Detailed finite element analysis in ANSYS with semi-automatic output for analytical joint verifications.
  • Design and verification of secondary structures like platforms and railings according to ISO 14122.
  • Test and approval of design and instructions through FAT & SAT.
  • Cost out evaluation with stakeholders and manufacturers.
