Proposal and Performance Study of a Novel Mooring System with Six Mooring Lines for Spar-Type Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Spar-type floating offshore wind turbines commonly vibrate excessively when under the coupling impact of wind and wave. The wind turbine vibration can be controlled by developing its mooring system.

Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Barge-Type Breakwaters under Different Mooring Methods

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In this paper, a yacht project in Tingjiang Town, Mawei, Fujian, is suggested as an example of a barge type breakwater made out of scrap barges. The physical modelling of a two-dimensional flume wave test was carried out on a barge-type breakwater ...

Design and comparative analysis of mooring systems for a combined wind and wave energy system at intermediate water depth

open access: yesJournal of Ocean Engineering and Science
For intermediate water depths (typically ranging from 50 m to 80 m), designing steel catenary mooring systems for floating marine renewable energy (FMRE) platforms can be challenging due to the limited weight of suspended mooring lines.

Parametric Sensitivity Analysis of Mooring Chains of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine in Shallow Water

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are severely restricted in numerous sea areas due to challenges from the strong nonlinear characteristics of mooring chains in shallow water (less than 50 m).
