• Definition of the INO WINDMOOR 12 MW base case floating wind turbine 

      Silva de Souza, Carlos Eduardo; Berthelsen, Petter Andreas; Eliassen, Lene; Bachynski, Erin Elizabeth; Engebretsen, Espen; Haslum, Herbjørn (Research report, 2021)
      WINDMOOR is a Competence Building Project (KPN), with the main objective of improving the understanding of loads governing the mooring system design of floating wind turbines (FWTs). As a base case, the project adopts a ...
    • Design, structural modeling, control, and performance of 20 MW spar floating wind turbines 

      Silva de Souza, Carlos Eduardo; Bachynski-Polic, Erin Elizabeth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      As floating wind turbines (FWTs) increase in size and power, the relative contribution of wave and wind loads to their global responses differs from what has been observed for 5–10 MW units. In addition, the larger deflections ...
    • Frequency-Dependent Aerodynamic Damping and Inertia in Linearized Dynamic Analysis of Floating Wind Turbines 

      Silva de Souza, Carlos Eduardo; Hegseth, John Marius; Bachynski, Erin Elizabeth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In frequency-domain (FD) models of floating wind turbines (FWT), it is common to regard the interaction between nacelle motions and thrust by means of a constant aerodynamic damping coefficient. This approach is effective ...
