Analysis of spar and semi-submersible floating wind concepts with respect to human exposure to motion during maintenance operations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are expected to experience onsite maintenances and inspections during their lifetimes. To carry out offshore maintenance activities, a crew will be transferred to an FOWT and spend ... -
Design and model test of a soft-connected lattice-structured floating solar photovoltaic concept for harsh offshore conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Various types of floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) devices have been previously proposed, designed and constructed with applications primarily limited to onshore water bodies or nearshore regions with benign environmental ... -
Design, Modelling and Analysis of a Large Floating Dock for Spar Floating Wind Turbine Installation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Installation of floating wind turbines at the offshore site is a challenging task. A significant part of the time efficiency and costs are related to the installation methods which are sensitive to weather conditions. This ... -
Dynamic analysis of a dual-spar floating offshore wind farm with shared moorings in extreme environmental conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The concept of a shared mooring system was proposed to reduce mooring and anchoring costs. Shared moorings also add complexity to the floating offshore wind farm system and pose design challenges. To understand the system ... -
Effects of a passive tuned mass damper on blade root impacts during the offshore mating process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020) -
Experimental investigation of two shared mooring configurations for a dual-spar floating offshore wind farm in irregular waves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Shared mooring brings potential cost benefits to a floating wind farm. In such a wind farm, adjacent floaters are connected by shared lines and the total number of mooring lines is reduced. This paper presents an experimental ... -
Fatigue crack growth in mooring chain steel at different mean load levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The fatigue crack growth rates of R4 mooring chain steel at different R-ratios are investigated. Crack growth experiments are performed at three different R-ratios, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.7, utilizing compact tension specimens in ...
