Scope:

Note: The scope and project need for this NOI (originally published on September 24, 2024) was updated by the responsible SDO on February 11, 2025.

 

The purpose of this document is to provide uniform methodologies for the design and assessment of mooring systems for floating Marine Energy Converters (MECs) (as defined in the TC 114 scope). It is intended to be applied at various stages, from mooring system assessment to design, installation and maintenance of floating Marine Energy Converters plants. 

 

This document is applicable to mooring systems for floating Marine Energy Converters units of any size or type in any open water conditions. Some aspects of the mooring system design process are more detailed in existing and well-established mooring standards. The intent of this document is to highlight the different requirements of Marine Energy Converters and not duplicate existing standards or processes. 

 

While requirements for anchor holding capacity are indicated, detailed geotechnical analysis and design of anchors are beyond the scope of this document.

Project need:

This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of The CSA Technical Committee TC550 Marine Energy . It will provide the industry with up-to-date uniform methodologies for the design and assessment of mooring systems for floating Marine Energy Converters (MECs) (as defined in the TC 114 scope). It is intended to be applied at various stages, from mooring system assessment to design, installation and maintenance of floating Marine Energy Converters plants. This document is applicable to mooring systems for floating Marine Energy Converters units of any size or type in any open water conditions.
