A model for quick load analysis for monopile-type offshore wind turbine substructures

A model for quick load analysis, QuLA, of an offshore wind turbine substructure is presented. The aerodynamic rotor loads and damping are pre-computed for a land-based configuration. The dynamic structural response is represented by the first global fore-aft mode only and is computed in the freq...
