Abstract
This paper identifies the most critical design load cases of ultimate load analysis for an offshore wind jacket foundation from IEC 61400-3 to understand the relative severity among different operation situation. A comprehensive design load cases for ultimate load analysis were simulated using the DTU Wind Energy aero-elastic code HAWC2. The superelement modelling was used to speed up the simulation. The modified INNWIND.EU reference jacket and DTU 10MW wind turbine were used as the reference model. A variety of critical design load cases were identified from all the investigated cases considering the bending moments at tower bottom and jacket mudline as the key design parameters for wind turbine and jacket foundation, respectively. It is shown that the hydrodynamic loading in severe sea state is the design drive load for jacket foundation with respect to the ultimate bending moment at the mudline.
