Influence of wave spreading on offshore wind turbine design: IEA 15-MW scenario

Offshore ocean waves are directionally spread, whereby the propagation of energy travels in different directions. Despite this multi-directionality, the use of 3-dimensional wave models for loading on fixed offshore wind turbines has been limited. This is partially due to the common assumption that...
