Abstract

A floating wind turbine dynamic simulation program, WindHydro, is newly developed taking into account wind inflow and incident wave. WindHydro consists of 5 modules, HDFloat for hydrodynamics, HDProp for hydrodynamic property calculation, HDMoor for mooring dynamics, AeroDyn for aerodynamics, DAFUL for multi-body dynamics with nonlinear elasticity, and interface program that connects each calculation module. A turbulent wind and regular wave load case is simulated for the 5-MW OC3-Hywind with a spar bouy platform and catenary mooring lines. The results are compared with the results of the FAST(developed by NREL). As a result, the overall system responses from WindHydro and FAST agree well although some differences in the generator responses are observed.
