Compared to onshore wind power, floating offshore wind power is a promising renewable
energy source due to higher wind speeds and larger suitable available areas. However …

Floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) systems are a fast-evolving technology, however, still
have to gain economic competitiveness to allow commercial market uptake. Design …

The deployment of offshore wind in the UK has seen a rapid increase in the past decade
and will continue to increase with the securement of the recent Scotwind sites. Floating …

The floating wind turbine support structure design problem is complicated by conflicting
technical objectives and innumerable platform geometry options. Previous support structure …

Floating offshore wind represents a new frontier of renewable energies. The absence of a
fixed structure allows exploiting wind potential in deep seas, like the Atlantic Ocean and …

The Levelized Cost of Energy for floating offshore wind must decrease significantly to be
competitive with fixed offshore wind projects or even with onshore wind projects. This study …

An integrated design tool for optimization of a floating wind turbine support structure of the
spar buoy type, including mooring system and power takeoff cable, is described in this …

Spar-type platforms for floating offshore wind turbines are considered suitable for
commercial wind farm deployment. To reduce the hurdles of such floating systems becoming …

The trend towards larger offshore wind turbines (WTs) implies the need for bigger support
structures. These are commonly derived from existing structures through upscaling and …
