Floating wind turbine energy and fatigue loads estimation according to climate period scaled wind and waves

Offshore wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources, as it expected to play a major role in transition towards sustainability and net zero emissions. Despite its potential, interaction turbines with oceanic waves, especially case floating turbines, main drawbacks associated it. In fact, mechanical oscillations caused by waves could potentially alter operation lifetime turbines. Hence, while characterization sufficient for long-term design onshore procedure more complex offshore since height, period direction will affect turbine. this paper, methodology evaluation generation fatigue loads Floating Wind Turbine (FOWT) considering 30-year proposed. To that end, meteorological data from 1991 2020 are characterized using cluster analysis reduced into computationally affordable number simulation cases. Results show negligible loss FOWT due waves. However, substantial increment side-side fore-aft bending moments tower detected. Such analyses might be applied predictability an turbine, well selection potential optimal farm locations, based on climatic patterns evolution data.
