Abstract: This paper is concerned with the development of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) utilizing spartype floating foundation. In order to design such a structure, it is essential to evaluate the dynamic response under ...

Abstract: In this paper, numerical modeling and analysis of a hybrid-spar floating wind turbine is presented. The hybrid-spar consists of steel at the upper part and precast prestressed concrete at the lower part. Such a configuration ...

Abstract: This study aims at development of a costeffective, floating offshore wind turbine. The prototype model considered herein is composed of (1) 2MW horizontalaxis wind turbine (HAWT) of downwind type, (2) steel monotower with ...
