Abstract

Static Analysis and Harmonic response analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is performed to evaluate the deformation, stresses and strain energy of monopile and tower of offshore wind turbine (OWT) in dense sand. In this study monopile, tower and soil along with water layer modelled as 3 dimension solid model in ANSYS workbench. Considering the soil as explicit material with environmental loads like wind and wave loads on turbine as static loads static analysis is done. From the analysis it is concluded that the structures behaviour changes with accordance to the change of parameters, turbines response towards the excitation frequency is investigated.
