摘要
An analytical model coupling wind turbine, tower, floating foundation, and mooring line was established for a novel floating offshore wind turbine with a weathervane function and moored by the single-point mooring system. The aerodynamic load was calculated using the blade element momentum theory, and the wave load was calculated using a hybrid model. The numerical simulation of the novel floating wind turbine was carried out using the software FAST. The weathervane function and motion performance of the floating offshore wind turbine with the single-point mooring system were studied under different directions of environmental loads. The time-domain calculation results show that the floating wind turbine with the single-point mooring system can still realize the weathervane function when the incident directions of wind load and wave are different. An analysis of the frequency domain results showed that that wind load mainly affects the equilibrium location of the floating foundation, and the wave load mainly affects the oscillation near the equilibrium location. Thus, the thrust acting on the wind wheel is more dominant than the steady drift force acting on the floating foundation. © 2018, Editorial Department of Journal of HEU. All right reserved.
