Load analysis and structural strength evaluation of semi-submersible platform for wind turbines in Jeju Island sea states using hydrodynamic-structure interaction analysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study conducted an analysis of waves and wind on the west coast of Jeju Island in South Korea to derive the loads for a structural analysis under operational, extreme, and survival conditions and then evaluated the structural strength of the DeepCwind semi-submersible platform of NREL for 5 MW wind turbine. As a floating structure is exposed to wind and wave loads in a highly changeable marine environment and consists of tubular joints with slender-element members, a load analysis is necessary for strength evaluation and design of the structure. The wave scatter diagrams based on KORDI’s 24-year measurements of sea states and the annual mean wind speeds were used as the operational conditions. A sea state with a period that is very likely to cause the resonance of a floating structure was applied as the extreme condition. Another sea state during the Bolaven, a typhoon passing west of Jeju Island in 2000, is adopted as the survival condition. The surface pressure distribution of DeepCwind calculate through hydrodynamic analysis was applied to a structural analysis model based on a hydrodynamicstructure interaction analysis. The evaluation of the structural strength is performed in accordance with the provisions of DNV-OS-C201 and API-2A-WSD under operational, extreme, and survival conditions.
