[ 1 ] - Investigating the Behavior of the Mooring System for a Conceptual Design of a Spar Floating Wind Turbine under Survival Conditions

In this paper, selecting of an appropriate mooring system for spar platform of a wind turbine consisting of chain–cable–chain is investigated based on a meta-heuristic method. The purpose is to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior of the structure and the mooring system in a normal and damaged conditions. ANSYS-AQWA software is applied to hydrodynamics analysis and the numerical results were f...
