ising windand wave-induced motion and structural costs. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is
used to optimise the main geometric parameters of the floating platform concept 5 MW, 10
MW, and 15 MW Hexafloat for the Pantelleria site. Hydrostatic and time-domain simulations
verify the floating stability and dynamic perform ance in terms of dynamic pitch and nacelle
acceleration. The optimal structural cost of the platform is reduced by 52% and 22% for the 5 …
