A review of design of floating offshore wind mooring system
Floating offshore wind power technology plays an increasingly important role in the process of global energy transition,especially in the application of deepwater area,which appears a good prospect in the future.As a core component of floating offshore wind power system,mooring systems directly affects the safety,stability,and economy of wind turbines.In this work,we provided a review of design of floating offshore wind power mooring systems,including the selection of mooring materials,layout configuration,anchoring equipment,and their adaptive capacity under different environmental loads.By an analysis of the effect of wind,wave,and ocean current on the mechanic behavior of mooring system we detailly discussed the essential parameters and optimizing strategies that need to be determined during design.Finally,the future developing tendence of mooring system was proposed,including intelligent design,application of multi material composite mooring,and adjustable mooring systems,to face the challenges of the increasingly complex marine environments.
