  Wave Effects on the Performance of Giant Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

  By Carlos Armenta-Deu, José Lomo

  Abstract: The performance of a giant floating offshore wind turbine under the effects of wave misalignment has been modelled and simulated. Heave and period of the sea waves have been considered as the most relevant parameters to determine their effects on the power generation of the floating offshore wind turbine. The simulation has been run for two different situations, a non-restriction tilt angle case and a limited tilt angle case. The …

  ENERGY LOSSES IN FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE WITH VARIABLE WIND DIRECTION

  By Carlos Armenta-Deu, José Lomo

  Abstract: The paper analyses the effects of the variation of wind direction onto the performance of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT). The evolution of the Cp coefficient is developed as a function of the velocity of the yaw angle correction when realigning the FOWT after a wind direction change. The results are computed for velocities correction of the yaw angle between 1º/min and 5º/min. A maximum drop of the Cp …
