Offshore Floating Wind Turbines: A Viable Major Source of Clean Power in Nigeria
Abstract: Renewable energy is one of the most exciting growth areas in the energy market. Offshore technology in the oil and gas industry is also applicable in renewable energy. A wind turbine converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity. At sea, the wind is stronger and more consistent, areas are large, and the challenges associated with projects located onshore are …

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 …

Modelling of Wind-Wave Misalignment for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
Abstract: The influence of the combined effects of wind and waves onto the performance of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is analyzed. A study of the wind conditions relative to the position of the aerodynamic rotor has been made, analyzing how the angle of incidence of the wind (angle of attack) varies with the wind direction and the inclination of the wind turbine mast as a consequence of the undulatory …

Structural Design of Offshore Structures: A Review of Indian and International Standards
Abstract: Offshore structures—including fixed steel jackets, topside modules, offshore wind turbine support structures, and floating systems—are designed to withstand combined gravity, environmental, seismic, and operational loads under substantial uncertainty and limited access for inspection and repair. Structural design practice has historically relied on internationally recognized standards, particularly the American Petroleum Institute’s API RP 2A, the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 19900 series, including ISO 19902 for fixed steel structures, and Det …
