ENERGY LOSSES IN FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE WITH VARIABLE WIND DIRECTION
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 …
