Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
• Performance of oil & gas platforms well understood
• Key differences between oil & gas platforms and FOWTs
• Additional uncertainties
• Any accidents will receive significant publicity
• Interaction between turbine, control system, floating platform, mooring system not well understood (yet)
• Performance & dynamics
• FOWT likely to be located in shallower water
• Have lower mass The New York Times, “Offshore Wind Farm Approved
• Wind loads have greater influence on global performance & loads in New Jersey,”
• Turbine control systems, angle of attack, nacelle yaw http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/03/offshore
• Introduce additional complexity -wind-farm-approved-in-new-
• Can complicate relative severity of “operational” and “survival” conditions jersey/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0, July 15, 2014
• Unmanned
• Economics:
• StatoilHydro Hywind Spar: $62.5 million
• Perdido Spar (world’s deepest oil & gas spar):
$3 billion
• Design margins
• Current practice is for less redundancy on
mooring systems of FOWTs
• Less risk of environmental pollution

mooring components

wave motions

fatigue
