Semi-submersible foundation, as one of the most feasible platform supporting the floating
offshore wind turbine, is developing at a fast pace with the offshore wind turbines moving to …

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 …

Floating structures have become the most feasible solution for supporting wind turbines
when offshore wind project move to deeper water. In this paper, a hydrodynamic analysis of …

Due to the dissimilar scaling issues, the conventional experimental method of FOWTs can
hardly be used directly to validate the full-scale global dynamic responses accurately …

A floating wind turbine concept, named as SPIC, is composed of the DTU 10MW reference
wind turbine and a newly designed semi-submersible platform featured with three partially …

Understanding the dynamics of an FWT (Floating Wind Turbine) is essential for its design
and operation. Since a truss structure can reduce the wave load/resistance on the floating …

There is a huge energy demand from offshore renewable energy resources. To maximize
the use of various renewable energy sources, a combined floating energy system consisting …

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

This study focusses on the coupling effects arising from the changes in the hydrodynamic
behaviour of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine when it undergoes large inclinations …

In recent years there has been a growing interest in offshore wind energy thanks to the
various advantages it offers. The offshore wind energy is used for the production of electric …
