Abstract
In this paper, results from comparisons of simulations and measured
offshore data from a floating combined wind and wave energy
conversion system are presented. The device is a downscaled prototype
that consists of a floating platform equipped with ten wave energy
absorbers and three wind turbines. The numerical model of the platform
is based on the aeroelastic code, HAWC2, developed by DTU Wind
Energy, which is coupled with a special external system that reads the
output generated directly by the wave analysis software, WAMIT. The
model also includes models for the dynamic mooring lines as well as
the turbines non-linear yaw and teeter motion behavior. The main focus
on the comparison will be on the statistical trends of the platform
motion, mooring loads and turbine loads in measurements and
simulations during different operational conditions such as increasing
wind speed, wave height and wind/wave misalignment.
