... al. (2007) designed a semi-submersible wind turbine platform that can carry three sets of wind turbine towers, and studied its motion response characteristics under wave and wind loads through numerical simulation and scale-model tests. Tang, et al. (2014) designed a triangular semi-submersible...

... ABSTRACT The floating wind turbine platform will have violent oscillatory motion under bad sea conditions, which will affect the aerodynamic characteristics of the tower, especially the wind turbine blades. How to use the dynamic boundary method to simulate the oscillatory motion...

... in the South China Sea, the dynamic responses of the wind turbine platform and the effects of three types of mooring systems with the same cost are studied. Different mooring patterns with eight identical chain cables are considered. The platform motions are influenced by the combined effects of waves...

... ABSTRACT A semi-submersible type floating wind turbine platform with 5MW power rate called "Y-Wind" is newly developed to improve the dynamic performances by employing damping plates. The platform is moored at a water depth of 200m with three catenary chain lines. Time domain coupled...

... by numerical analysis using a 9-node higher-order boundary element method(HOBEM). In the parametric study, the wind turbine platform which has the truss spar type shape with damper structure to reduce the motion & acceleration responses is suggested. The numerical results for the selected shape design...
