Offshore floating wind turbine and its dynamic problems

Abstract

Abstract:

Green energy sources and ocean wind power are plentiful in deep sea. More and more offshore wind power plants are constructed in the deep water over hundred meters below the surface. While offshore floating wind turbine system is working, wind turbine, floating foundation, and mooring system affect each other with wind, waves, and currents acting on them. Various offshore floating wind turbine systems and the encountered environmental loads are briefly reviewed and discussed. It is difficult and crucial to comprehensively analyze the aerodynamic-hydrodynamic-service system-structure under the coupling effect of offshore floating wind turbine system. The environmental flow field, structure scale, and rational applications of theories and approaches should be well considered in advance.

Key words: ocean wind power, offshore floating wind turbine, dynamics, coupling
