An experimental study of the effect of mooring systems on the dynamics of a SPAR buoy-type floating offshore wind turbine

An experimental study of the effect of mooring systems on the dynamics of a SPAR buoy-type floating offshore wind turbine is presented. The effects of the Center of Gravity (COG), mooring line spring constant, and fair-lead location on the turbine’s motion in response to regular waves are investigat...
