A STUDY ON MOORING SYSTEM DESIGN OF FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE IN JEJU OFFSHORE AREA.
2013
Abstract This paper presents a mooring design procedure for a floating offshore wind turbine. Offshore environmental data for Jeju are taken from KHOA (Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration) and used for the environmental conditions in numerical analyses. A semi-submersible-type floating wind system with a 5-MW-class wind turbine studied by the DeepCwind Consortium is applied. Catenary mooring with a studless chain is chosen as the mooring system. Design deliverables such as the nominal sizes of chain and length of the mooring line are decided by considering the long-term prediction of the breaking strength of the mooring lines where a 100-year return period is used. The designed mooring system is verified using a fatigue calculation based on rain-flow cycle counting, an S-N curve, and a Miner’s damage summation of rule. The mooring tension process is obtained from time-domain motion analyses using ANSYS/AQWA.
