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

International 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.

Tracking Mooring Lines of Floating Structures by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 4589-4608, December 2025.
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 ...

Scaled Physical Modelling of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Using a Neural Network‐Based Surrogate Model for Aerodynamic Emulation

Wind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2025.
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

Asian Journal of Control, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 2023-2036, July 2025.
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).

Soil–Anchor Interaction Effects on Dominant Frequencies in Offshore Wind Turbines Supported by Tension Leg Platforms

Wind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
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 ...

Transatlantic Coastal Community Voices on Floating Offshore Wind Farms With Artificial Reefs

Wind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT In the United States (US) and in France, offshore wind farms (OWFs) and floating offshore wind farms (FOWFs) have faced political concerns and, in some cases, strong stakeholder opposition. Respecting the views of local communities is critical for a socially responsible energy transition.
