Compared with the traditional catenary or semi-taut mooring lines, the taut mooring system is more advantageous in many aspects, such as reduction of mooring line loads, erosion and fatigue damage during the powering productions of the floating wind turbines. This paper presents a taut mooring system made of synthetic fiber mooring lines, which can experience large elongations for a spar-type floating wind turbine. A finite element method (FEM)-based tensile mooring line model is proposed to study the mooring statics and dynamics of the floating wind turbine. A time domain modelling method coupled with the developed mooring line model is adopted to study the dynamics of a spar-type floating wind turbine foundation moored by the taut mooring system under regular waves. A systematic dynamic response and structural analysis are conducted based on variations in the mooring length and pretension. Additionally, comparative performance analyses are investigated for two mooring configurations with different numbers of mooring lines: two-point and three-point taut mooring system. It is found that factors, such as mooring length, pretension and the number of mooring lines, have significant impact on the in-plane and out-of-plane motion responses of the foundation. |
