Abstract:

The water area in which water depth is deeper than 50m has special advantage in wind turbine generation, because there are the stable wind speed and small Wind-shear. In such sea area, the offshore wind energy generating equipments should be set up on floating foundation structure. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the floating foundation structures that are available for offshore wind energy generation for the industrialization of the offshore wind power generation. In this paper, the basic type and working principles are reviewed for some novel floating structures developed in recent year. In addition, some key dynamical problems and risk factors of the floating structure are systemically analyzed for working load caused by turbine running and sea environment loads of floating structure. The results are valuable for designing the floating structures of wind turbine generation.
