Numerical Analysis of a Catenary Mooring System Attached by Clump Masses for Improving the Wave-Resistance Ability of a Spar Buoy-Type Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

Numerical Analysis of a Catenary Mooring System Attached by Clump Masses for Improving the Wave-Resistance Ability of a Spar Buoy-Type Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

The International Energy Agency (IEA), under the auspices of their Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration (OC3) initiative, has completed high-level design OC-3 Hywind system. In this system the wind turbine is supported by a spar buoy platform, showing good wave-resistance performance. However, the...
