Research Development and Key Technical on Floating Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines

Research on the Dynamic Response of Floating Foundation of a Tri-Floater Offshore Wind Turbine

“…Therefore, the study of the dynamic characteristics of the offshore wind floating foundation is important. Although floating foundation increasing complexity, but compared to the fixed base, it has several unique advantages [2] : the location is convenient and flexible; the offshore distance is farther, and wind energy resources is more rich; it is better to eliminate the visual impact; simplify the offshore installation procedure, compared to a fixed base, installation costs greatly save. According 3kW vertical axis wind turbine, and foucs on meeting the floating foundation of stability and structural strength requirements, the tower column and floating foundation are detailed designed, and consider the floating foundation movement in wave, calculate response transfer function and response spectrum of the floating wind power system.…”
