Design of floating offshore wind turbines
Abstract
The floating wind industry is still in its infancy, with just a few scaled-down prototypes deployed around the world, but at the same time there is a lot of interest in this new field, since it is deemed to play a major role in the future of offshore wind. In the present chapter a classification methodology for floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) systems is presented, followed by some considerations about their conceptual/preliminary design. In doing so, some of the basic concepts and principles are illustrated, starting from the theories developed for oil and gas offshore ...
