Floating offshore wind turbines: responses in a seastate Pareto optimal designs and economic assessment. International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering , San Diego, 31–41.͓1͔ Sclavounos, P., Tracy, C., and Lee, S., 2007, Floating Offshore...
The development of offshore wind farms was originally carried out in shallow water areas with fixed (seabed mounted) structures. However, countries with li
The effect of aircushion division on the structural loads of large floating offshore structures is described and compared with that of a rectangular barge having the same dimensions. Calculations are based on a linear three-dimensional potential method using a linear adiabatic law for the air pressu...
Offshore wind energy has gained widespread attention and experienced a rapid development due to the significantly increasing demand on the renewable energy over the last few years. Currently, development of offshore floating wind turbine attracts lots of attentions to harvest more energy from sustained...
Development of offshore wind energy is also a promising solution for establishing sustainable society in the country. Water depth around the country generally becomes sharply deeper with distance from the shoreline and floating platform is necessary to deploy wind turbines. This paper investigates effect...
In order to analyze the fatigue life of floating offshore wind turbines, the coupled action of wind, waves, current and blade pitch control strategy must be considered. State-of-the-art computer programs for motion analysis of moored offshore bodies, Simo-Riflex from Sintef Marintek, are ...
Recent growth in the wind industry has driven researchers and developers to consider floating offshore wind turbines. Stronger, more consistent winds, proximity to major population areas, and often more convenient manufacturing and deployment are all motivating factors behind offshore system development. ...
The motivation for this study is the fast development of floating offshore wind energy and the immature methodology and engineering practice related to predictions of vortex-induced motions (VIM). Benefiting from the oil and gas industry, in the past several decades, extensive knowledge and experienc...
Offshore wind power has gained great success in shallow waters, with total accumulated installations being up to 64.3 GW by the end of 2022 [1,2], and has further entered the era of floating wind technology [3]. The development in European countries and China is the main contributor to ...
The floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) have many more advantages than the onshore wind turbines, but they also have more complicated aerodynamic characteristics due to complex platform motions. The research objective of this paper is to investigate unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of a FOWT ...
