Offshore wind turbines are complex structures, and their dynamics can vary significantly
because of changes in operating conditions, eg, rotor‐speed, pitch angle or changes in the …

A coupled dynamic analysis of a floating wind turbine system has been performed to
investigate effect of wave direction relative to wind on the system. Hydrodynamic loads are …

Currently, floating offshore wind is experiencing rapid development towards a commercial
scale. However, the research to design new control strategies requires numerical models of …

Abstract In this study, Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is used to identify the damping
value of the fundamental for-aft (FA) mode of an Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) using both …

The disruptive potential of floating wind turbines has attracted the interest of both industry
and scientific community. Lacking a rigid foundation, such machines are subject to large …

Abstract Model tests were performed with a model of the INO WINDMOOR 12 MW floating
wind turbine in the Ocean Basin at SINTEF Ocean. The tests were done at a scale of 1: 40 …

As the rotor diameter of offshore wind turbines increases, an improved understanding of the
structure of the turbulent wind field approaching the rotor is important. Present standards for …

A computer tool for simulation of the dynamic response of floating wind turbines exposed to
forces from wind, waves and current has been developed for Hydro Oil & Energy's floating …

Accurate prediction of the wake is conducive to achieving the safe and efficient operation of
large-scale offshore floating wind turbines. To further understand the wake characteristics of …

Aerodynamic damping has an important effect on the dynamic response of offshore
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). In this paper, an analysis of the loads on offshore …
