Discussion

Optimizing stability and reducing stress factors of a 5MW floating offshore wind turbine on the Oregon coast, highlighting environmental influences.

A 30% increase in cylinder spacing improves turbine stability and reduces stress factors by 1.23–3.19%.
Environmental parameters, such as wind speed and wave height, were calibrated for Oregon's conditions.
The optimization focused on physical parameters like cylinder diameter and pontoon thickness to enhance durability.
Analysis used the OpenFAST simulation tool to model the offshore wind turbine's response to environmental conditions.

Isaac Cho (2024) studied this question.
