Preliminary Study on the Optimum Design of a Tension Leg Platform for Offshore Wind Turbine Systems

We demonstrate a procedure for determining the configuration of a tension leg platform (TLP) on which a 2.4 MW wind turbine can be installed. Various sizes of the structural elements of the TLP are examined to investigate their effects on tendon tension and response acceleration at the top of the to...
