Wind turbine nacelles are complex machines that are designed to operate under extreme
loads and harsh environments. Extensive tests are performed throughout their development …

The main purpose of the present paper is to cover the lack of a reference point in the
literature providing a comprehensive review of the state of the art, recent developments, and …

The motion response of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) platform is closely related to
its safety, and model test is the most direct method to fully study its dynamic characteristic …

Offshore structures exist in a variety of forms, and they are used for a variety of functions in
varied sea depths. These structures are tailored for certain environments and sea depths …

This paper summarises the experience gained from wave basin experiments aimed at
investigating the dynamic response of a spar buoy offshore wind turbine, under different …

New large-scale laboratory data are presented on a physical model of a spar buoy wind
turbine with angular motion of control surfaces implemented (pitch control). The peculiarity of …

Spar-type platforms have been widely applied in ocean engineering and first get commercial
applications in the offshore wind industry. The spar-type platform is typically deployed in …

The dynamic responses of a new structure combining a barge-type floating offshore wind
turbine and an aquaculture cage is investigated numerically. First, a 5 MW barge-type …

Experimental investigation of floating structures represents the most direct way for achieving
their dynamic identification and it is particularly valuable for relatively new concepts, such as …

Floating wind turbines (FWTs) play a significant role in producing clean, renewable, and
sustainable energy. Structural components of FWTs consist of the wind turbine, supporting …
