Abstract
Reliability analysis of jacket type offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structure under extreme ocean environmental loads was performed. Limit state function (LSF) of OWT support structure is defined by using structural dynamic response at mud-line. Then, the dynamic response is expressed as the static response multiplied by peak response factor (PRF). Probabilistic distribution of PRF is found from response time history under design significant wave load. Band limited beta distribution is used for internal friction angle of ground soil. Wind load is obtained in the form of thrust force from commercial code called Bladed and then, applied to tower hub as random load. In numerical example, response surface method (RSM) is used to express LSF of jacket type support structure for 5 MW OWT. Reliability index is found using first order reliability method (FORM).
