This research aims to develop a floating unit capable of supporting a hybrid power hub for deployment in deep-water fields. The study combines low-order models with time-domain simulations to define the main dimensions of the hull and the layout of the mooring system, with the goal of reducing CAPEX while ensuring compliance with applicable safety regulations.

Sizing the hull and mooring system of an offshore structure depends on several parameters, including the equipment to be installed onboard, the environmental conditions, and the safety criteria that must be met. Moreover, these objectives must be achieved while minimizing total CAPEX to ensure the project’s economic feasibility. A common approach involves the use of reduced-order models and frequency-domain analysis to develop a preliminary platform concept, followed by time-domain simulations to verify system responses and assess compliance with applicable design criteria.
