Innovative Floating Wind Turbine with Synthetic Mooring System and Feasibility Analysis of a Solar-Wind-Battery Hybrid System
Synthetic mooring lines, characterized by their neutral buoyancy and high strength, are crucial for maintaining the station-keeping of Floating Wind Turbines (FWTs) by providing the necessary restoring forces while minimizing the vertical loads on the platform. This thesis explores the evolution of …
