Numerical Study on Sectional Loads and Structural Optimization of an Elastic Semi-Submersible Floating Platform

This study investigates the sectional loads on an elastic semi-submersible platform for a 2 MW FOWT (floating offshore wind turbine) used in the Fukushima demonstration project. A water tank test is firstly carried out with an elastic model to study the dynamic responses and sectional loads of the p...
