Abstract

Based on 5MW offshore wind turbine model chosen by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a new conceptual offshore floating wind turbine structure with the combined tension legs-mooring lines system was proposed. Taking the coupled effect of dynamic response of the top wind turbine, tower support structure and lower mooring system into account, the time domain analysis with coupled wind-wave-current effects was applied to the new offshore floating platform by advanced numerical tools, according to the typical design conditions in IEC 61400-3 code. The results showed that, the new conceptual tension legs-mooring lines system can effectively ensure the performance of the offshore floating wind turbine, which would play an active and instructive role in the development of the offshore floating wind turbine.
