Offshore Wind Turbine Nonlinear Wave Loads and Their Statistics

The development is presented of an analytical model for the prediction of the stochastic nonlinear wave loads on the support structure of bottom mounted and floating offshore wind turbines. Explicit expressions are derived for the time-domain nonlinear exciting forces in a seastate with significant...
