Comparison of dynamic response of a 2-MW hybrid-spar floating offshore wind turbine during power production using full-scale field data

抄録

Offshore wind technical potential has been shown to be approximately four times higher in deeper water areas suitable for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) than in shallower water areas suitable for bottomfixed offshore wind turbine. Particularly in Asia and North America, where the technological potential for floating offshore wind turbines is high, the installation of FOWTs is highly desired in these areas to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Because these areas are subject to typhoons and hurricanes, FOWT installations require accurate simulations of both power production and extreme environmental conditions. Therefore, in this paper, we compare the simulated and measured values in the power production using Adams with SparDyn, which has already shown good agreement with the measured values in the typhoon environment and validate the simulation tool.
