Design and analysis of a ten-turbine floating wind farm with shared mooring lines

This paper discusses the development and analysis of a novel design for 10-turbine floating wind farm with shared mooring lines. Shared lines tether adjacent platforms together, reducing number anchors required but increasing system complexity. We present systematic, multistage process systems, involving linearized array layout options, quasi-static line optimization, refinement based on coupled dynamic loads analysis. The developed from this is thought to represent one most advantageous shared-mooring configurations scale array. It features perpendicular anchor pairs allows shared, multiline anchors, making it an example shared-mooring-and-anchor Comparing performance cost characteristics more conventional three-line individual systems shows equivalent response stationkeeping savings 25% when using anchors. also in case failure, offsets redundancy similar four-line systems.
