Abstract
Ocean Grazer B.V. is developing an energy storage system for offshore purposes. The so-called Ocean Battery system must be installed on the seafloor to function properly since it uses the hydrostatic pressure from the ocean to store energy in potential form in flexible bladders. The system must be able to withstand all forces acting upon it. This report focuses on the foundation of the Ocean Battery that makes use of suction anchor technique. Suction anchors are widely used as offshore foundations for deep water purposes. The current design of the foundation consists of nine chambers and suction can be applied to all chambers. Last semester analytical research was performed on the current design and the results were promising. However, the design is not optimal, full installation cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the analytical research was continued and design changes were investigated. Finally, a proposal is given to adapt the installation condition, increase the skirt height of one of the chambers and increase the diameter of the cylindrical caissons to further guarantee installation and increase the final holding capacity.
