Karmakar, D. and Guedes Soares, C. (2015), “Extreme response prediction of offshore wind turbine using inverse reliability technique”, 34th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2015), 31 May-5 Jun, St. John’s, NL, Canada, paper: OMAE2015-42072
In the present study, the environmental contour method is applied for predicting out-of-plane bending moment loads at the blade root and tower base moment loads for 5MW offshore floating wind turbine of spar-type, DeepCWind and WindFloat semi-submersible floater configuration. FAST code is used to simulate the wind conditions for various return periods and a brief comparison on the design loads of the floating wind turbine for I-D, 2-D and 3-D environmental contour method is analyzed. In addition, a brief comparison of design loads with the spar-type, DeepCWind and WindFloat semi-submersible floater is discussed. The study is helpful to improve the turbine design load estimates and is useful in predicting accurate long-term design loads for wind turbines without requiring excessive computational effort.
