Motion Response Analysis of Buoy System under Single Point Mooring Method
When the floating LIDAR wind tower operates in the harsh ocean environment,its motion stability is affected by the coupling environmental loads such as wind,wave and current,showing typical nonlinear characteristics,which has an important influence on its observation accuracy.A floating foundation design analysis platform is established to analyze the hydrodynamic performance of the buoys and its mooring system,and to solve the motion response between the buoys and its mooring system under different loads.The results show that the buoys under the single point mooring scheme has good security and stability.The maximum mooring tension is 466.4 kN,which can meet the BV NR493 specification.The maximum movement radius and maximum heaving distance of the platform are 50.0 m and 6.3 m,respectively,which can ensure the safe operation.
