Innovation and Safety

What is "Innovation"?

"Innovation" is derived from the Latin "Innovare" (renew) （＝ "in" (within) + "novare" (change) ）. Innovation means using new technology and ways of thinking in existing materials and structures to create new value and to make significant changes in society.

METI is conducting the practical operation test during 2013-2015, by setting three floating offshore wind turbines (2 MW×1, 7MW ×2) and a floating transformer station off Fukushima. JMU, MES, and MHI are constructing the floating structures.

Technical Regulation Safety Guideline*

* The Safety Guideline provides practical design measures that satisfy the Technical Regulation ex) Technical Regulation: Regulates stability of FOWT even in the strongest wind in the past 50 years Safety Guideline: Provides calculation programs, experiment methods, and lists of meteorological data to be gathered

What is safety?

1. safety level 2. hazards and risks 3. necessity of improvement of safety 4. measures for improving safety 5. prioritized in terms of cost effectiveness

Summary

17

• As history has illustrated; an innovation happened, an accident occurred and new safety measures were implemented.

• The first safety measure was technical regulation, and prevention of the human error was induced, also safety management system was evolved.

• Innovation is indispensable to sustainable development. • The existing rule may not be appropriate for innovation,

Innovation and control measure should be developed together.

• FSA guideline has been already established in IMO, but it is necessary to accumulate an applied example.

• An acceptable level of safety must be defined.
