Abstract
The focus of the wind energy industry has shifted offshore, as the prospect of placing wind turbines on the ocean promises huge, often a multiple of the potential on land in terms of energy production and carbon dioxide savings. Thus there is a strong need for the integrated dynamic analysis of an offshore floating wind turbine (OFWT). This and the following chapter provide an overview of the development that has taken place leading to the emergence of such numerical tools. The physical models these tools are based on—focussing on the prediction of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and mooring loads on offshore floating horizontal axis wind turbines—are highlighted. Previous researches are discussed. This overview serves as an introduction for those wishing to move their first step in the field of offshore floating wind turbines as well as those looking for a review of this renewable energy research in the turbine dynamics analysis.
