The objective of this paper is to study the hydrodynamic performance of barge-type floaters with and without moonpool for floating wind turbine. In the barge-type floaters with moonpool, effect of moonpool sizes and its effects on the coupled dynamics of floater motions with waves and winds are studied and presented. Moonpool can be used as floating oscillating water column. The piston mode and sloshing mode are studied for floaters with moonpool. The analysis is carried out for the floater’s motion responses in both regular and irregular waves. The wind turbine is positioned at the center of the floater in all of the case studies. The numerical study on the coupled dynamic response of the barge-type floaters with the wind turbine support structure is conducted using aero-servo-hydro-elastic simulation. The platform motion responses along with the power spectral density of the motion characteristics are analyzed.
