Dynamic Response of an Offshore Floating Wind Turbine at Accidental Limit States—Mooring Failure Event

Wind-wave induced dynamic response analysis for motions and mooring loads of a spar-type offshore floating wind turbine

Due to the energy crisis and the environmental issues like pollution and global warming, the exploration for renewable and clean energies becomes crucial. The offshore floating wind turbines (OFWTs) draw a great deal of attention recently as a means to exploit the steadier and stronger wind resources available in deep water seas. This paper studies the hydrodynamic characteristics of a spar-typ...

Effect of Platform Surge Motion on the Performance of 5MW NREL Offshore Floating Wind Turbine

In this study, an unsteady aerodynamic simulation is performed to realize the influences of platform surge motion on the aerodynamic performance of a high capacity offshore floating wind turbine. A dynamic model with pitch angle control system is utilized to propose a more realistic model of wind turbine and also achieve the rated condition of the rotor. The transient effect of platform surge m...
