6 FAQs about [Floating wind turbine power generation performance]

What are the characteristics of a floating wind turbine?

For the floating wind turbine, aerodynamic performance and wake characteristics are also important topics that need to be addressed. However, as a fully-coupled system, the floating wind turbine exhibits distinctive characteristics due to the floating platform and mooring system compared to the fixed wind turbine.

Should a floating wind turbine (ofwt) be developed?

Novel controllers and more stabilized platforms should be developed for OFWTs. The platform pitching motion of the Offshore Floating Wind Turbine (OFWT) introduces an additional wind profile to the rotor, which may significantly impact the power performance of the OFWT.

What are the guidance notes for floating offshore wind turbines?

The Guidance Notes contained herein should be used in conjunction with the ABS Guide for Building and Classing Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT Guide). These Guidance Notes provide suggested global performance analysis methodologies, modeling strategies and numerical simulation approaches for floating offshore wind turbines.

Does platform pitching motion affect power performance of a offshore floating wind turbine?

The platform pitching motion of the Offshore Floating Wind Turbine (OFWT) introduces an additional wind profile to the rotor, which may significantly impact the power performance of the OFWT. In this paper, the power performance of an OFWT in platform pitching motion is investigated using the Free Vortex Method (FVM).

Do floater oscillations affect power performance of a wind turbine?

The power performance of a wind turbine depends on turbine dynamics, control strategy, and atmospheric conditions. As for FWTs, the additional floater oscillations should be particularly incorporated. In this paper, extensive simulations are conducted for a Spar-type FWT using the FAST software.

Is offshore floating wind turbine a steady or unsteady simulation?

Both steady and unsteady simulations of offshore floating wind turbine are considered in the present work. The steady aerodynamic simulation of offshore floating wind turbine is implemented by the multiple reference frames approach and for the transient simulation, the rotor motion is realized using arbitrary mesh interface.
