Uzunoglu, E., Oguz, E. and Guedes Soares, C. (2021), “An Overview of Platform Types Used in Floating Wind Energy”, 2nd International Congress on Ship and Marine Technology (GMO-SHIPMAR 2021), Yildiz Technical University Auditorium, Besiktas, Istanbul, Turkey.
This paper provides an overview of the platform types used in floating wind power. It starts by defining the forces on the platforms and discusses the fundamentals and primary types (i.e., semi-submersibles, SPARs, tension leg platforms, and barges). A categorization is given based on their stability methods, and their resonance characteristics are explained as one of the primary design considerations. Each hull form has advantages and disadvantages. They are explained to provide a basis of understanding. The work concludes by describing the mooring used for these platforms, the class society standards that currently apply to their design, and the developments in the world regarding wind energy.
