This paper reviews the status of floating wind energy expansion, market needs,
opportunities, and barriers. Even more expensive than many other generation technologies …

As floating wind turbines (FWTs) increase in size and power, the relative contribution of
wave and wind loads to their global responses differs from what has been observed for 5–10 …

The development of large-scale wind turbines is challenged by loads, mass, and cost
growth, and more flexible blades that impact power and tower clearance. Further, the long …

Abstract The Wind Generation System (WGS) is an essential piece of equipment for the
model test of the Floating Wind Turbine (FWT) in integrated wind & wave environment. With …

Decarbonization requirements have extended the use of wind turbines by orders of
magnitude. Due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio, composite materials have been widely …

Though offshore wind turbines have great potential for applications in ocean energy
harvesting, their subject to complex unsteady aerodynamic loads. To obtain wind turbine …

Extreme-size wind turbines face logistical challenges due to their sheer size. A solution,
segmentation, is examined for an extreme-scale 50 MW wind turbine with 250 m blades …

This paper presents a new upscaling methodology for semi-submersible floating offshore
wind turbine platforms. The size and power rating of offshore wind turbines have been …
