Optimal Dimensions of a Semisubmersible Floating Platform for a 10 MW Wind Turbine

In this paper, an optimal semisubmersible platform is sought considering two key geometry variables: the diameter of the outer cylinders and their radial distance from the platform centre. The goal is to identify a platform configuration able to most efficiently contrast the combined wind-wave actio...
