Discussion

Modeling shows ballast transfer significantly enhances floating wind turbine stability, suggesting improvements in performance.

Optimized ballast transfer can reduce tower base bending moment by approximately 40%, improving stability.
A comprehensive analysis demonstrates that the ballast arrangement influences dynamic responses in floating wind turbines.
Utilizing a semi-submersible floating wind turbine model, the Hydrostatic Model with Ballast Transfer Plus was implemented for simulations.
Findings imply that effective ballast distribution is critical for enhancing the operational efficiency of floating wind turbines.

Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
