Mooring solutions for floating offshore wind turbines have been developed from technology proven for floating oil and gas platforms. They differ as, generally, floating offshore wind turbines are located in shallower water, have a different set of loads, and have lower consequences of failure as there is no oil spillage risk.
As mentioned in Section 1, mooring design is not an isolated task in floating wind projects. While floater motion dynamics are a key concern, mooring systems must also address requirements for other components of floating wind system, such as dynamic power cables, anchors, drivetrain components, towers, and blades.
A floating mooring system is designed to facilitate and maximize energy production and power transmission in a floating wind system. Its station-keeping performance requirements, design life, long-term inspection, maintenance, and repair needs and constraints are important factors in mooring component selection.
Introduction: Floating wind power is the important path for the development of offshore wind energy, and the performance of the mooring system of floating wind turbines (FOWTs) significantly affects their economic viability, safety, and sustainability.
Mooring innovations at floating wind farm scale are identified and future research areas are envisioned. Mooring systems are essential for ensuring the safety and station-keeping of floating offshore structures. Despite advances in mooring technologies over the past two decades, several design challenges remain.
