Combined current and wind simulation for floating offshore wind turbines
Journal of Physics: Conference Series(2022)
Abstract
This paper describes the validation of a novel method to simulate current loading on a floating offshore wind turbine model. A dynamic winch actuator is used to emulate the drag force of current on the platform of the model with a Software in the Loop application. Current loads are combined with wave- and wind loads. The results of experiments with physical current are validated against the results of experiments with simulated current. A method to simulate wave-current interactions is also described. The results show that the winch actuator can reliably emulate current induced drag forces in comparison with physical current under various combinations of environmental loads. Experimental repeatability of the response of the platform is shown to be superior when using simulated- rather than physical current.
