Zavvar, E., Abdelwahab, H.S., Uzunoglu, E., Chen, B.Q. and Guedes Soares, C. (2023), Stress Distribution on the Preliminary Structural Design of the CENTEC-TLP under Still Water and Wave-Induced Loads, Journal of Maritime Science and Engineering, Vol. 11, 951
An assessment is made of the stress distribution and the hydrodynamic response of the preliminary structural design of the tension leg platform of a 10 MW wind turbine. The platform supporting a 10 MW turbine is modelled and analysed by the finite element method. The stress distribution of the platform is determined in still water with the turbine at above-rated conditions, and the response of the tension leg platform is estimated in the time domain. The results of the time domain analysis show reasonable agreement between the present results and the available data. To
check the design stiffener dimensions, span, and spacing against stress distribution, classification societies’ recommendations are used. The results of the stress distribution analysis indicate that the critical locations of the platform are the interaction of the lower columns with the upper columns and the connection of the tower of the turbine.
