A study on fully nonlinear wave load effects on floating wind turbine
Xu, Kun; Shao, Yanlin; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The influence of fully nonlinear wave effects on floating wind turbine has been studied in this paper by comparing both floater motions and structural responses of tower base and mooring lines exposed to linear and fully ... -
Design and Analysis of Mooring System for Semi-submersible Floating Wind Turbine in Shallow Water
Xu, Kun (Doctoral thesis, 2020)Floating wind turbines are necessary to produce power from wind in deeper water where bottom-fixed wind turbines are not economically competitive. However, it is still not clear to which water depth a floating wind turbine ... -
Design and Analysis of Mooring System for Semi-submersible Floating Wind Turbines in Shallow Water
Xu, Kun (Master thesis, 2015)There has been a remarkable development in offshore wind energy. From the view of cost efficiency, floating wind turbine becomes more competitive than bottom fixed wind turbine when the water depth comes above 50 m. ... -
Design and comparative analysis of alternative mooring systems for floating wind turbines in shallow water with emphasis on ultimate limit state design
Xu, Kun; Larsen, Kjell; Shao, Yanlin; Zhang, Min; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Floating wind turbines represent a cost-efficient energy solution in deep water where bottom-fixed wind turbine becomes excessively expensive. However, mooring design is quite challenging for all shallow water depths ... -
Effect of hydrodynamic load modelling on the response of floating wind turbines and its mooring system in small water depths
Xu, Kun; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A large number of offshore wind turbines have been installed recently, mostly in water depth up to 30 m based on monopile foundations. It is expected that floating wind turbine becomes more competitive than bottom fixed ... -
Effect of wave nonlinearity on fatigue damage and extreme responses of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine
Xu, Kun; Min, Zhang; Shao, Yanlin; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Floating wind turbine has been the highlight in offshore wind industry lately. There has been great effort on developing highly sophisticated numerical model to better understand its hydrodynamic behaviour. A engineering-practical ...
