Wave and Wind Responses of a Very-Light FOWT with Guy-Wired-Supported Tower: Numerical and Experimental Studies

Wave and Wind Responses of a Very-Light FOWT with Guy-Wired-Supported Tower: Numerical and Experimental Studies

A floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) concept with a guy-wire-supported tower was investigated to obtain motion results in waves considering its elastic model characteristics. The FOWT concept studied aims to reduce the construction costs by using a light-weight structure tensioned with guy wires...
