Characterisation of extreme load responses of a 10-MW floating semi-submersible type wind turbine [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The global average size of offshore wind turbines has increased steadily from 1.5 MW to 6 MW from 2000 to 2020. With this backdrop, the research community has recently looked at huge 10–15 MW class floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs).

Dynamic Behavior of a Flexible Multi-Column FOWT in Regular Waves [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 A tank experiment using a flexible multi-column floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) model in regular waves was carried out to clarify the floater elastic response and its influence on the floater motion. The model motion response from the experiment was compared with the numerical simulations by NK-UTWind and WAMIT codes.

Effect of Heave Plates on the Wave Motion of a Flexible Multicolumn FOWT
Energies, 2022 Three models with different footing types were used to clarify the effect of heave plates on the hydrodynamic behavior of the elastic response of a flexible multicolumn floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The models were tested under regular waves, whose added mass, damping, and motion response results were compared with numerical simulations by NK ...
