  Predicting the aerodynamic performance of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) proves challenging due to platform motion induced by waves. The effect of wind and waves results in a six-degree-of-freedom motion of the platform, directly influencing turbine performance. Understanding the impact of specific degrees of freedom (DOF) motions on aerodynamics and structural response is crucial for effective wind turbine design. This research examines the impact of rotor tilt on both aerodynamic performance and structural response. The investigation employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and mapping aerodynamic loads onto the finite element (FE) mesh for structural analysis. The study employs a comprehensive 3D simulation, utilizing the moving reference frame (MRF) method for the NREL 5 MW reference wind turbine CFD simulations. It explores different rotor tilt angles (5°, 10°, 15°, and 20°) encountered by offshore structures during their operation and examines their impact on aerodynamic performance. Predicted aerodynamic loads were mapped onto the blade FE mesh using the radial basis function (RBF) interpolation technique and solved using the open-source FE solver CalculiX. The analysis shows that the turbine performance is relatively unaffected up to a tilt angle of 10°. However, further increase in rotor tilt angle adversely impacts turbine performance, leading to notable reductions in thrust and power output. The fluid-structure coupled analysis provided insights into the deformations and stresses experienced by the turbine blade, indicating a notable increase in flap-wise displacement for larger tilt angles, while edge-wise displacement is not as significantly affected. The maximum stress location on the blade generally correlates well with actual observations.

  The design of Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) relies on integrated simulation tools capable of predicting the system dynamic characteristics and the coupled loads and responses. Despite allefforts to develop accurate integrated models, these often fail to reproduce the measured naturalfrequencies, partly due to the modelling of the foundation. Several foundation models and ca-libration approaches have been proposed and compared with small or large scale field tests,where only the soil and the foundation are included. However, there is a lack of more integralvalidation where the interaction between the foundation and the structure is taken into account.The paper investigates the impact of the foundation model and calibration approach on the si-mulated response of a monopile-based OWT installed in the North Sea by comparing simulationsand full-scale field data. The OWT structure and the environmental actions are implemented inthe aero-servo-hydro-elastic code 3DFloat. Two foundation models and two calibration ap-proaches are evaluated. The results indicate that, with a conceptually correct foundation modeland a realistic calibration, it is possible to match the measured natural frequency and predictaccurate fatigue loads. More accurate predicted loads will reduce uncertainties in the estimatedfatigue lifetime and therefore reduce risk in the design

  DIMSELO is a Competence Building for Industry project (KPN), granted by the Norwegian Research Council under the ENERGIX program, which ran from 2013 to 2017. The project's objective was to quantify the consequences of using advanced sea loads modeling in integrated simulations of offshore wind turbines in shallow to intermediate waters. During the project, engineering hydrodynamics load and wave kinematics models of increasing complexity and fidelity were chosen from the literature and implemented. The effect of different model combinations on the substructure loads was was tested for three reference turbines: a DTU 10 MW rotor positioned on a monopile at a water depth of h = 25 m, on a second monopile at h = 35 m and on a jacket, also at h = 35 m. In this paper, the fatigue loads in a production case for the h = 25 m monopile was calculated via three different load models: the well-known Morison model, the Rainey nonlinear force model and the McCamy-Fuchs linear diffraction model. The models were coupled to kinematics coming both from linear irregular waves and second order irregular waves. The comparison showed that using the McCamy-Fuchs diffraction theory reduced the predicted fatigue damage by 15% with respect to a base case where the Morison load model was used. Nonlinear wave kinematics and nonlinear force models influenced the force calculations but did not alter the total fatigue damage, since the load cases with high wave steepness were less likely to happen.

  The cost of offshore wind energy production has to be reduced continuously to improve its competitiveness compared to other energy sources. To contribute to this goal, a 4- year research project REDWIN – REDucing cost of offshore WINd by structural and geotechnical integrated design – is currently ongoing, addressing the challenge of integrating the geotechnical discipline in the design process. The project aims to develop foundation and soil models to be used in dynamic time-domain analyses of offshore wind turbine structures. A library of models has been developed for representation of the most common foundation types. The models can be applied to different ground conditions by site-specific model input. To make the models applicable for practical usage, it has been important to balance the need for computational effectiveness against the need for accuracy. Studies so far indicate that the foundation models improve the accuracy in the integrated analyses.

  Several studies have emphasized the importance of modelling foundation response with representative damping and stiffness characteristics in integrated analyses of offshore wind turbines (OWTs). For the monopile foundation, the industry standard for pile analysis has shown to be inaccurate, and alternative models that simulate foundation behaviour more accurately are needed. As fatigue damage is a critical factor in the design phase, this study investigates how four different soil-foundation models affect the fatigue damage of an OWT with a monopile foundation. This study shows how both stiffness and damping properties have a noticeable effect on the fatigue damage, in particular for idling cases. At mud-line, accumulated fatigue damage varied up to 22 % depending on the foundation model used.

  This paper summarizes the findings from Phase Ib of the Offshore Code Comparison, Collaboration, Continued with Correlation (OC5) project. OC5 is a project run under the International Energy Agency (IEA) Wind Research Task 30, and is focused on validating the tools used for modelling offshore wind systems through the comparison of simulated responses of select offshore wind systems (and components) to physical test data. For Phase Ib of the project, simulated hydrodynamic loads on a flexible cylinder fixed to a sloped bed were validated against test measurements made in the shallow water basin at the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) with support from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The first phase of OC5 examined two simple cylinder structures (Phase Ia and Ib) to focus on validation of hydrodynamic models used in the various tools before moving on to more complex offshore wind systems and the associated coupled physics. Verification and validation activities such as these lead to improvement of offshore wind modelling tools, which will enable the development of more innovative and cost-effective offshore wind designs.

  In this paper, the exemplary results of the IEA Wind Task 30 Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration Continuation (OC4) Project – Phase I, focused on the coupled simulation of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) with a jacket support structure, are presented. The focus of this task has been the verification of OWT modeling codes through code-to-code comparisons. The discrepancies between the results are shown and the sources of the differences are discussed. The importance of the local dynamics of the structure is depicted in the simulation results. Furthermore, attention is given to aspects such as the buoyancy calculation and methods of accounting for additional masses (i.e., hydrodynamic added mass). Finally, recommendations concerning the modeling of the jacket are given.

  Offshore wind turbines are designed and analyzed using comprehensive simulation codes that account for the coupled dynamics of the wind inflow, aerodynamics, elasticity, and controls of the turbine, along with the incident waves, sea current, hydrodynamics, and foundation dynamics of the support structure. This paper describes the latest findings of the code-to-code verification activities of the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, which operates under Subtask 2 of the International Energy Agency Wind Task 23. In the latest phase of the project, participants used an assortment of codes to model the coupled dynamic response of a 5-MW wind turbine installed on a floating spar buoy in 320 m of water. Code predictions were compared from load-case simulations selected to test different model features. The comparisons have resulted in a greater understanding of offshore floating wind turbine dynamics and modeling techniques, and better knowledge of the validity of various approximations. The lessons learned from this exercise have improved the participants? codes, thus improving the standard of offshore wind turbine modeling.

  The effect of wind and waves results in a sixdegree- of-freedom motion of the platform, directly influencing turbine performance. This research examines the effects of rotor tilt angle on both aerodynamic performance and structural response employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and mapping aerodynamic loads onto the finite element (FE) mesh for structural analysis of NREL 5MW reference wind turbine rotor. Increased rotor tilt angle reduces turbine performance. Fluidstructure analysis shows higher flap-wise displacement with larger tilt angles, impacting thrust and power output. The displacement and stress patterns aligns with observed data.

  The Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) based on semi-submersible floaters constitute a popular choice in most markets due to their installation being flexible and in need of low infrastructural requirements. A simple and robust three-legged semi-submersible floater for FOWTs, the OOSTAR wind floater, has been introduced and it can be anchored to the seabed with steel chain mooring lines or hybrid mooring lines - a combination of chains and synthetic fiber ropes. The fiber rope mooring lines present a number of advantages thus leading to a lighter and less costly mooring system. These lines are important for the FOWT’s integrity as their loss can lead to the change of the floater’s position, a damaged power cable, a possible collision with other infrastructure and high maintenance costs. This why an early detection of damages in the mooring system is crucial. In this study, damage detection in the main part of fiber rope mooring lines of semi-submersible based FOWTs is investigated for the first time. In particular, the OO-STAR floater based FOWT is considered. Two Statistical Time Series based detection methods, the Multiple Model- AutoRegressive (MM-AR) method and the Functional Model Based Method (FMBM) are used and compared. The MM-AR is based on multiple AR models whereas the FMBM on a single Functional Model, for the description of the healthy FOWT’s dynamics under varying environmental conditions. The results based on seven healthy and eight damage cases under varying wind speed and wave height show that the two methods are able to achieve damage detection in fiber rope mooring lines without any false alarm or missed damage despite of damages having small effects on the FOWT’s dynamics and the fiber ropes presenting a non-linear behaviour.

  The investigation has been carried out with a conceptual design of a semisubmersible platform operating on site in offshore locations. Analysis has been carried out with four different single buoy turbine concepts to verify loads occurring during challenging operating conditions set to 90% of the time within the North Sea region. Pivot rotation by the means of ballast transfer is a common technology used in the offshore industry. Utilizing the concept on floating wind turbines is yet to be explored and seems to have a large potential. Adequate measures must be taken in order to ensure that the pivot concept can handle the final geometries of the turbine towers. At this early stage it is not known what kind of floating turbine concept will be proven to be economically viable. Making the pivot concept adaptable to several different wind turbine concepts is thus important. One other main goal is to incorporate all of the assembly features from connecting the individual tower parts to handling the anchor lines for the wind turbines. Worst case loading conditions are dependent on dynamic response from the assembly platform. Current results with simulations of the complete system indicate that the pivot concept performs as anticipated. The versatility for application on different assembly platforms is yet to be proven but should result in less dynamic response and loading on both the pivot concept and turbine towers. It is clear that turbines with a smaller draught will make assembly more versatile and less sensitive to weather conditions.
