Experimental and numerical analysis of wind field effects on the dynamic responses of the 10 MW SPIC floating wind turbine concept

Experimental methods are useful to study global responses of floating wind turbines under wind excitations. One experimental technique is based on the regeneration of wind fields in open space in a hydrodynamic laboratory and the use of the performance-matched rotor to produce the equivalent aerodynamic thrust force according to a target wind field. However, for wind generation systems, due to small variations in the output of each fan and …
