Numerical Validation of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Scaled Rotors for Surge Motion

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Aerodynamic performance of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is significantly influenced by platform surging motions. Accurate prediction of the unsteady aerodynamic loads is imperative for determining the fatigue life, ultimate loads on key ...

Motion and elastic response of wind-tracing floating offshore wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
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 ...

Power Quality‐Oriented Multiloop Design of Floating Wind Turbines Pitch Control

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) face inherent control limitations in above‐rated operating conditions due to right‐half‐plane zeros in the blade‐pitch‐to‐rotor‐speed dynamics, which restrict achievable control bandwidth and may lead to closed‐loop instability.

Research on the Dynamic Behaviors of a Spar Floating Offshore Wind Turbine With an Innovative Type of Mooring System

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2022
Due to the existence of rotor and tower, the floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is subjected to greater wind heeling moment than the conventional floating platform, which would cause significant pitch motion and bring great challenge to the structural

A Structured Techno‐Economic and Socio‐Regulatory Comparison of Onshore, Fixed‐Bottom Offshore, and Floating Offshore Wind Energy Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Onshore, fixed‐bottom offshore, and floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) represent distinct technological pathways for large‐scale wind energy deployment, yet comparative assessments often emphasize descriptive characteristics rather than quantified performance trade‐offs.
