Hello,
I have been doing my master's thesis on dynamic analysis of floating offshore turbine and I am using MATLAB software for the analysis.
Can anyone give me suggestions on the result I have obtained (attached the plots) as I am getting higher values and where I might be wrong. The plots shown include mooring load (Quasi static analysis) , hydrodynamic force (Morison's equation) and aerodynamic loads (Blade and Tower) are taken into account as external forces. In addition, I have considered the OC3 spar buoy as my reference turbine. It would be very helpful, if anyone can help me with this.
Check out this post on LinkedIn from a colleague... Karsten Kopperstad, Performance Engineer III at McHale and Associates, Inc. post> "I am excited to announce that my first peer-reviewed journal publication has been accepted and published. Here we study the effects on the wake due to the oscillation of the floating offshore wind turbine of two major concepts; barge type and spar type floating platforms. The ultimate objective of this study is to help future floating offshore wind farm layouts to leverage the aerodynamic characteristics found behind the floating wind turbines in order to improve overall farm efficiency. More studies on aerodynamic interactions with multiple floating platforms is required to determine the extent that power harness capabilities of the wind farm can be improved with the above aforementioned consideration. I want to take a moment to thank all friends and coworkers that made this endeavor possible. The research article is found below. Please share any comments or suggestions you might have. Thank you all! Aerodynamic characterization of barge and spar type floating offshore wind turbines at different sea state. onlinelibrary.wiley.com"
