Development of a Multi-Objective Optimization Tool for Screening Designs of Taut Synthetic Mooring Systems to Minimize Mooring Component Cost and Footprint

Development of a Multi-Objective Optimization Tool for Screening Designs of Taut Synthetic Mooring Systems to Minimize Mooring Component Cost and Footprint

As the offshore wind industry develops, more lease sites in the intermediate water depth (50–85 m) are being released to developers. In these water depths floating wind turbines with chain catenary systems and fixed-bottom turbines with jacketed structures become cost prohibitive. As such, industry...
