This report presents a preliminary foundation concept design for the 200 MW First Offshore Wind Project of India (FOWPI) site in Gujarat. Prepared by COWI for NIWE, the study evaluates suitable offshore foundation concepts and develops design solutions for 3 MW and 6 MW reference wind turbines. It considers site-specific water depth, soil conditions, wind, waves, currents, cyclones, earthquakes, marine growth and other environmental loads. The study compares foundation options including monopile, jacket and concrete gravity-based foundations, with the monopile identified as the most suitable option for the FOWPI site due to its relatively shallow water depth and potential for efficient fabrication and installation. The report also covers geotechnical and structural design, ultimate and fatigue limit-state assessments, foundation dimensions, loads, stability and natural frequency, providing an important technical basis for tendering and further detailed foundation design.
