Abstract. This paper provides a summary of the work done within Phase III Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continued, with Correlation and unCertainty (OC6) project, under International Energy Agency Wind Technology Collaboration Programme Task 30. phase focused on validating aerodynamic loading wind turbine rotor undergoing large motion caused by floating support structure. Numerical models Technical University Denmark 10 MW reference were validated using measurement data from 1:75...
Currently, the design of floating offshore wind systems is primarily based on mid-fidelity models with empirical drag forces. The tuning model coefficients requires data from either experiments or high-fidelity simulations. As part OC6 (Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continued, Correlation, and unCertainty (OC6) a project under International Energy Agency Wind Task 30 framework) project, present investigation explores latter option. A verification validation study computational...

Abstract. The numerical study of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) requires accurate integrated simulations which consider the aerodynamic, hydrodynamic, servo and elastic responses these systems. In addition, system dynamics couplings need to be included calculate excitation over ensemble accurately. this paper, a new tool has been developed for coupling NREL's aero-servo-elastic OpenFAST with computational fluid (CFD) toolbox OpenFOAM. is used model rotor aerodynamics along flexible...
Abstract This study focuses on the intricate interplay between large wind turbines and their wake effects neighboring turbines. We specifically investigate influence in power production aerodynamic loads when a turbine operates under of upstream wakes. The analysis has been performed by means Computational Fluid Dynamic simulations using OpenFOAM, while are modelled with an Actuator Line Model approach. Two IEA 15 MW reference turbines, one partially affected other’s wake, analyzed. research...
Abstract Massive deployment of wind energy is critical to achieving the renewable production targets. This requires development and improvement models tools for optimal exploitation high altitude complex terrain sites installations. Predicting resource assessment these very challenging, as predicting interaction farms in with neighbouring installations, which necessary maximise efficiency energy. To address challenges, use high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) recommended. In this...
Abstract Multi wind turbine configurations are emerging in the offshore energy market. The modelling of aerodynamics these systems is challenging, due to small lateral distance between rotors and subsequent interaction wakes. Previous analysis literature showed that, this interaction, multi concepts present advantage an increment power production, if laterally aligned. However, counterpart variation blade loads throughout revolution, has yet be analysed depth. This study focuses on...
