A Comprehensive Study on the Serbuoys Offshore Wind Tension Leg Platform Coupling Dynamic Response under Typical Operational Conditions

A new type of offshore wind tension leg platform (TLP) connected with a series of buoys (Serbuoys-TLP) is proposed. With the consideration of coupling effect, derivations on the stiffness of the Serbuoys-TLP mooring lines are given. The complicated coupling motion characteristics of the TLP with buo...
