Project Certification according to IEC 61400.
The purpose of project certification is to evaluate whether type-certified wind turbines and particular support structure/foundation(s) designs are in conformity with the external conditions, applicable construction and electrical codes and other requirements relevant to a specific site. [] The certification body shall evaluate whether the wind conditions, other environmental conditions, electrical network conditions and soil properties at the site conform with those defined in the design documentation for the wind turbine type and foundation(s). The evaluation includes safety and quality.

Project Certification Details. Site Assessment.
Soil Literature search Bathymetric and geophysical surveys (echo sounding, side scan sonar, seismic surveys) Preliminary geological report
At lease one borehole and one cone penetration test (CPT) at each corner of wind farm area and in center, at least 10% of all turbine sites:
- soil profiles - soil mechanical parameters - description and assessment of foundation soil
Preliminary geotechnical site survey report
One boring and cone penetration test at each turbine site Preliminary soil and foundation expertise
Geological report
Wind Metocean Mean still water level (MWL) Min./Max. still water level Lowest/Highest astronomical tide (LAT, HAT) Water level conditions (short/long term) Site specific measurements Hindcast studies Long term statistical data Wave conditions
Correlation between water level data and wind data
Site specific measurements Statistical data combined with flow models Currents
Ice conditions

Examples for Calculations.
Leading experts in the fields of static and dynamic calculations, esp. for offshore wind farms:
Load analysis Collision analysis FEM calculations
Development of methods for the analysis of dynamic pile load tests in close cooperation with BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing)
SAMCEF software: comprehensive package (all-in-one) for integrated load analysis (total dynamic calculations including soil, wave and wind); integrated calculation methods with broad acceptance

TV Rheinland Project Certification. Implications.
- Confirmation
Type-certified wind turbines and foundation designs meet requirements
governed by site-specific external conditions and are in conformity with
applicable local codes
- Assurance for the project the earlier the better
As the globally independent Certification Body TV Rheinland
- looks closely at all aspects of the project
- keeps an overview of the progress at any time
- supports successful realization with our knowledge
- Minimization of technical risks
- Assurance for the investors

GICON SOF.
The GICON SOF (Floating Offshore Foundation)
Buoyancy elements Vertical bracing Additional diagonal bracing
Background Data Applicable from 25 to 350 meters Modular construction, supply chain flexibility Complete assembly at portside Transport of the entire structure to the deployment location Limited impact on sediment Maintenance friendly Entire structure can be towed into port for replacement

GICON SOF. Calculation Monopile vs. GICON SOF.
operating conditions: - vw = 12 m/s - hs = 1,00 m - Ts = 4,5 s - Depth of water 18 m
(Baltic 1)
Movements of the SOF are less than movements of monopile under operating conditions
TLP vs. Monopile
