Abstract Model testing of offshore floating wind turbines (FOWTs) needs to account for the
hydrodynamics of the floater at the same time as the aerodynamics of the rotor, and their …

The work explains the rationale and principles behind the hydrodynamic design of a
dynamically self-stable hybrid platform to host a 10 MW turbine that is a free-float capable …

An innovative offshore system integrating a floating offshore wind turbine with a steel fish
farming cage (FOWT-SFFC) has recently been developed by the two leading authors for …

This paper aims to study the effects of fish nets on the nonlinear dynamic performance of a
floating offshore wind turbine integrated with a steel fish farming cage (FOWT-SFFC). Fully …

Offshore wind energy is being supported by more national policies. The complexity of the
marine environment makes it more difficult to study the coupling performance of offshore …

This study collects issues from previous tank test campaigns of scaled Floating Offshore
Wind Turbines (FOWT), compares the different scaling methodologies, points out critical …

Froude scaling is a generally reliable way to design models of floating wind turbines for
wave basin testing. However, the resulting rotor thrust of the model is far lower than the …

Wind energy has witnessed a consistent expansion in the past decade especially with the
move to offshore generation. There is an increasing need to further exploit offshore wind …

To verify that inclined tension legs can improve the stability of the tension leg platform, this
paper established the dynamic equation of a tension leg platform (TLP) under marine …

The global floating offshore wind industry is experiencing rapid growth, but stability
regulations are often limited. Reducing platform motions can increase turbine efficiency and …
