Analysis of new Floating Offshore Wind Turbine under drag force operation
Abstract: The goal of this paper is the study and analysis of a new type of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), which operates under drag force instead of lifting force as the conventional FOWT. We simulate the wind turbine operation modifying the pitch angle to faithfully reproduce the behavior when submitted to waves’ movement. The analysis of the wind turbine performance is developed in a model at laboratory scale to control …
