Floating wind turbines represent a very promising technology in the field of renewable technologies: they allow the exploitation of vast areas of the sea at a great distance from the coast, characterized by more consistent wind speed and availability, reducing visibility from the coast and increasing electrical productivity. The traditional depth limits imposed by fixed structures are overcome, allowing installations in deep seas such as the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
The adaptation of wind turbines in the open sea poses more demanding challenges than onshore: in addition to the force of the wind acting on the blades, there are the forces of the sea waves on the floating platform, the forces of the mooring chains, the forces of inertia due to the oscillations of the tower.
Having reliable numerical models for simulating the system becomes imperative to ensure optimal platform design.
