Conceptual design and dynamic analysis of a novel passive floating offshore wind turbine structure

TMD stroke limiting influence on barge-type floating wind turbines

“…The dynamic responses of the wind turbine with/without tuned mass damper were simulated and the suppression effect of the tuned mass damper was investigated over a wide range of load cases. In Liao and Wu (2020), a novel concept of a passive FOWT structure is proposed to overcome the previous limitations of space and mass of tuned mass dampers. The conceptual design was examined on the basis of a finite element model with promising results.…”
