Abstract

This study identifies the performance of existing foundation systems used for offshore wind turbines. To that end, a literature review on the design and performance of offshore wind turbine foundation and anchorage systems at various water depths was conducted. Results from the literature review were summarized so as to build upon existing knowledge and develop a full picture of existing solutions that can be applied in wind farm developments exposed to multi-hazards at various water depths, simulating severe environmental condition. Further, a computational modeling approach was presented and examined to aid in better understanding the multi-hazard behavior (i.e., wind and waves) of a representative offshore wind turbine with monopile foundations. Preliminary results from the computational simulation will be discussed.
