Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Offshore wind will play a key role in accelerating the low-carbon energy transition to achieve the Net Zero goal, and global installed offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 630 gigawatts (GW) by 2050. Under these circumstances, offshore wind technology has witness rapid development during the past decade, and continuous technology innovations are promoting wind energy harvesting to become cheaper, safer and further offshore. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to offshore wind technology, demonstrate emerging trends, challenges and opportunities in offshore wind development, as well as provide a rapid turnaround time regarding reviewing and publishing, and disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching and reference purposes.

Besides improving the generator torque and blade pitch controller, incorporating additional control actuations, such as a vibration absorber and active ballast, into the floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) system is also promising for the motion mitigation of FOWTs. This work aims to study the catenary mooring length re-configuration effect on the dynamic behaviours of semi-submersible FOWTs. The mooring length re-configuration mentioned here is achieved by altering the mooring length with winches mounted on the floating platform, which is in a period of minutes to hours, so that the mooring tensions could be adjusted to reduce the aerodynamic load induced platform mean pitch. Control designs for both single mooring line and multiple mooring lines have been described and studied comparatively. In order to assess the motion mitigation performance of the proposed mooring line length re-configuration methods, fully coupled numerical simulations under different environmental cases have been conducted. Results indicate that the catenary mooring length re-configuration is able to reduce the platform pitch motion by up to 15.8% under rated condition, while careful attention must be paid to the scenarios where the catenary moorings become taut, which may lead to large load variations.
