Motion and elastic response of wind-tracing floating offshore wind turbines [PDF]
A multi-unit floating offshore wind turbine concept, the wind-tracing floating offshore wind turbine, is introduced. In this concept, the floating structure is a triangular platform that hosts three 5 MW wind turbines and is moored to the seabed with a ...

Tracking Mooring Lines of Floating Structures by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
ABSTRACT This study presents a novel method for tracking mooring lines of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with a tilt‐controlled Multibeam Imaging Sonar (MBS). The proposed approach enables the AUV to estimate the 3D positions of mooring lines and safely track them in real‐time, overcoming ...

ABSTRACT Scaled physical modelling of floating offshore wind turbines is a crucial step in the continued development of floating offshore wind to reach Net‐Zero goals. However, it is an inherently difficult task due to the incongruity between Reynolds scaling (important for wind effects) and Froude scaling (important for wave effects).

Multiple model predictive control for offshore wind turbines operating in the full‐load range
Abstract This paper presents a multiple model predictive control (MMPC) strategy based on an individual blade pitch (IBP) mechanism to control floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) when operating in the full‐load range (above the rated wind speed).

ABSTRACT This study presents an experimental investigation into the influence of anchor–soil interaction on the dynamic behaviour of tension leg platform (TLP)–type floating wind turbines. A 1/100 scale model of the NREL 5‐MW reference wind turbine was fabricated using a 3D printer, with scaling parameters determined based on Froude scaling laws to ...
