Oil drilling and extraction platforms are currently being used in many offshore areas around the world. Whilst those operating shallow seas secured to seabed, for deeper water operations, Dynamic Positioning (DP) is essential maintain their position within a safe zone. Operating DP requires intelligent reliable control systems. Nearly all accidents have been caused by combination of technical h...

This paper presents a literature review of the dynamics offshore floating wind turbine platforms. When moving further offshore, there is an increase in capacity power. Generating power from renewable resources enhanced through extraction energy deep-water resource. Mounting on platform that not stable brings another difficulty to modeling. There need introduce platforms are more effective captu...

Abstract One of the concerns regarding numerical simulation floating wind turbines (FWTs) in waves is underprediction resonant responses low-frequency range. In present work, difference-frequency wave loads on a restrained semi-submersible FWT subject to bichromatic are investigated by higher-fidelity tools (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) and simplified engineering based potential flow theo...
