Multi-purpose floating platforms are emerging as a promising concept in ocean engineering
applications, thanks to their capability of ensuring system integration, cost reduction and …

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are located in complex ocean environments;
therefore, they typically exhibit more significant dynamic responses than land-based wind …

During its lifetime, a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) encounters various normal and
abnormal waves. Under extreme sea conditions, freak waves may suddenly enlarge the …

In the present work, the dynamic responses of a Spar-type floating offshore wind turbine
(SFWT) under freak waves with different properties are simulated and analyzed. The …

Mediterranean islands have the advantage of favourable climatic conditions to use different
marine renewable energy sources. Remote sensing can provide data to determine wind …

This paper presents an original approach to mitigate the motion of floating spar supports for
offshore wind turbines. A two-degree-of-freedom tuned mass damper device, consisting of a …

This paper introduces a method for analyzing resonance between Offshore Wind Turbine
(OWT) structures and wave loads using Wave Participation Factor ratios (WPFs). Despite …

Among the extreme sea scenarios, freak waves pose a serious threat to offshore structures,
potentially leading to structural failure, such as mooring line failure, floater capsizing, or …

Numerical simulations are performed within the time domain to investigate the dynamic
behaviors of an SPAR-type FOWT under wave group conditions. Towards this goal, the OC3 …

This paper developed a simulation framework, including multi-body dynamics,
aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, controller dynamics, and mooring system, for the fully …
