Abstract

Hybrid platforms which integrate a floating offshore wind turbine and a wave energy converter are a promising technology as the wave energy converter can lead to a more stable platform and potentially lower costs. In the present work, a semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine platform integrating with an array of wave energy converters (WECs) in the form of an oscillating water column (OWC) is presented and tested experimentally. The hydrodynamic properties of the multi-functional platform were investigated under a series of regular and irregular wave tests considering both operational and survival sea states. The influence of various parameters (including incident wave directions and chamber opening ratios) on the dynamic responses and the wave energy capturing were systematically studied. The introduction of the oscillating water column can not only capture wave energy but also reduce the heave, roll and pitch responses, especially for long waves kh ≤ 2.0, kh ≤ 1.4 and kh ≤ 1.76 respectively. The maximum reduction in heave, roll and pitch are 35 %, 55.4 % and 13.8 %, respectively. The chamber air orifice size was analyzed and optimized. From the survival sea state tests, it is found that the introduction of the OWC WECs decreases the maximum amplitudes of the platform motions in all five freedoms and the nacelle acceleration.
