A comparative study on dynamic responses of spar-type floating horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines
Cheng, Zhengshun; Wang, Kai; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Interest in the exploitation of offshore wind resources using floating wind turbines has increased. Commercial development of floating horizontal axis wind turbines (FHAWTs) is emerging because of their commercial success ... -
Assessment of performance enhancement of a semi-submersible vertical axis wind turbine with an optimized Darrieus rotor
Cheng, Zhengshun; Wang, Kai; Ong, Muk Chen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Increasing efforts are currently being devoted to develop floating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), due to their potential to reduce the cost-of-energy. Optimization of rotors is favorable to increase the power capture ... -
Dynamic analysis of a floating vertical axis wind turbine under emergency shutdown using hydrodynamic brake
Wang, Kai; Hansen, Martin Otto Laver; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Emergency shutdown is always a challenge for an operating vertical axis wind turbine. A 5-MW vertical axis wind turbine with a Darrieus rotor mounted on a semi-submersible support structure was examined in this study. ... -
Dynamic Modelling and Analysis of Three Floating Wind Turbine Concepts with Vertical Axis Rotor
Cheng, Zhengshun; Wang, Kai; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Proceedings of the twenty-fifth International Ocean and Polar Engineering Conference;ISOPE 2015, Chapter, 2015)Recently there is an increasing interest in the development of offshore floating vertical axis wind turbines (FVAWTs).

Dynamic Response Analysis of Three Floating Wind Turbine Concepts with a Two-Bladed Darrieus Rotor
Cheng, Zhengshun; Wang, Kai; Gao, Zhen; Moan, Torgeir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Recently, interest in the development of floating vertical axis wind turbines (FVAWTs) has been increasing, since FVAWTs might prove to be one of the optimal configurations in deep waters. In this study, a FVAWT with a 5 ... -
Modelling and dynamic analysis of a semi-submersible floating vertical axis wind turbine
Wang, Kai (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:89, Doctoral thesis, 2015)Wind turbines are mainly classified into horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) based on different orientation of their axis of rotation. Ever-increasing demand for energy boosts ... -
Power performance and dynamic responses of a combined floating vertical axis wind turbine and wave energy converter concept
Cheng, Zhengshun; Wen, Ting-Rui; Ong, Muk Chen; Wang, Kai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Currently, the development of floating wind turbines and wave energy converters (WECs) is both facing the challenge of high cost-of-energy (CoE). A promising way to reduce the CoE is to employ combined wind and wave energy ... -
