WAVE-INDUCED IMPACT ON MONOPILE-TYPE OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE RESPONSE

The offshore wind turbine industry has been actively working toward the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Technological advancements in large-scale fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines (OWTs) have significantly improved power generation and economic efficiency. However, the dynamic response characteristics of these turbines in coastal waters, especially in the presence of Hub waves, remain largely unknown. In this study, we conducted a series of numerical simulations using a wind- wave load coupled analysis method to investigate the impact of waves on the dynamic response of a 15MW monopile-type OWT in wind and waves.
