Abyss Stationis - Integrated Design Software for Floating Wind Farms
Stationis is an innovative R&D project aimed at revolutionizing the design of anchoring and electrical connections for floating wind farms. The software features a sophisticated 3D visualization interface that enables users to efficiently manage both mooring and electrical connections. This tool facilitates the rapid calculation of both technical and economic indicators, making it invaluable at various stages of the wind farm project lifecycle. Backed by technological advancements in floating wind turbine systems, Stationis enhances user experience with its dynamic interface, catering to stakeholders involved in the floating wind turbine industry. Initiated in May 2015 with a €2 million budget, partly funded by French public subsidies, the project is a collaborative effort involving Abyss CAD, Capsim, EOLFI, LHEEA (Centrale Nantes), and INNOSEA. Abyss CAD, responsible for the software's architecture and graphical interface, also manages the project database and is the global distributor of Stationis.
Software all-in-one design of anchoring and electrical connection of a floating wind turbines farm
Stationis is a collaborative R & D project developing an all-in-one design of anchoring and electrical connection of a floating wind farm. Via a 3D visualization interface, the user can:
- Design and size underwater architecture of a floating windturbines farm.
- Choosing the best electrical and mooring equipments for a given architecture.
- Change the layout diagram of a farm to optimize the performance of underwater connections through economic and technical indicators.
This is possible thanks to major innovations specific to the floating wind turbine, the software takes both mooring and electrical connections and enables a quick calculation of technical and economic indicators. Its dynamic 3D interface offers an exceptional user experience. Thanks to these characteristics, it can be used at all stages of a project by a variety of actors of the floating windturbine business.
The project began in May 2015 for a period of 2 years. Its budget is € 2 million, part of French public subsidies. It brings together five partners: Abyss CAD, Capsim, EOLFI, LHEEA (Centrale Nantes) and INNOSEA.
Abyss CAD is in charge of the software architecture, the development of the graphical interface and the management of the project database.
For stationis project, Abyss CAD is supported by the area of Vaucluse, the Community of Pays d'Aix and BPI France.
