Clarindo, G. and Guedes Soares, C. (2023), Extreme wave contours for floating wind turbine sites in the Atlantic area, Trends in Renewable Energies Offshore, Guedes Soares, C. (Ed.), Taylor and Francis Group, London, UK, pp. 93-102
Wave environmental contours are derived for two exposed floating wind energy sites in the Atlantic Ocean. The selection of the sites is according to a multicriteria approach that combines the availability of wind resources with several other criteria that affect the economic performance of offshore floating wind turbines. In the reliability sense, the extreme conditions estimated by the wave contours support the design of the platforms, in particular their survivability capabilities. The wave contours are derived by Inverse-First Order Reliability Method as well as the Direct Method considering Monte Carlo simulations, so as to compare the results of different state of the art methods. After derivation of the contour lines based on one and fifty years return periods, the extreme combinations of points in the contours are selected for design purposes.
