Hmedi, M., Uzunoglu, E., Medina-Manuel, A., Mas-Soler, J., Vittori, F., Pires, O., Azcona, J., Souto-Iglesias, A. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Experimental analysis of CENTEC-TLP self-stable platform with a 10 MW turbine”, Journal of Maritime Science and Engineering, Vol. 10, 1910.
This work evaluates the experimental test results regarding the operational performance of a free-float capable tension leg platform with a 10 MW wind turbine. It covers the platform dynamics in the selected installation area, Ribadeo, Spain. The model and the facility are initially presented, along with the experimental setup and the load cases. The testing campaign includes a software in the loop method to emulate the rotor thrust and the aerodynamic and gyroscopic moments in pitch and yaw. The result sets are structured to start from basic information from system identification cases and continue with responses against regular and irregular waves accompanied by steady and stochastic wind scenarios. The performance in operational and extreme conditions is assessed as well as fault scenarios. The experiments demonstrate auspicious motion dynamics and mooring line behaviour when examined against class society rules.
