Design of Mooring Lines of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine in Jeju Offshore Area
2014
This paper presents a mooring design procedure of a floating offshore wind turbine. The offshore environment data of Jeju south sea collected from Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration (KHOA) are used as environmental conditions for hydrodynamic analysis. A semi-submersible floating wind turbine system is considered based on Offshore Code Comparison Collaborative Continuation (OC4) DeepCWind platform and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5MW class wind turbine. Catenary mooring with studless chain is chosen as the mooring system. Important design decisions such as how large the nominal sizes are, how long the mooring lines are, how far the anchor points are located, are demonstrated in detail. Considering ultimate limit state and fatigue limit state based on 100-year return period and 50 year design life, respectively, long-term predictions of breaking strength and fatigue are performed.Copyright © 2014 by ASME
