What are Offshore Wind Turbines?• According to IEC 61400-3 (Design Standards):
“Offshore wind turbines are those wind turbines whose support structures are subject to hydrodynamic loading”
That means waves!

External Design Conditions• Wind:
– Power production– Rotor/nacelle assembly & support structure: extremes, fatigue
• Waves: – Support structure: extremes, fatigue
• Currents:– Support structure, rip-rap
• Ice: – Support structure
• Others:– Salinity, temperature

Offshore Wind Turbine Design StandardsIEC 61400-3
• Background– IEC = International Electrotechnical Commission– IEC oversees all wind turbine standards (61400)– Standards ensure safety, financibility, insurability– Standards relate strength of structure to external
conditions and design load conditions
![Page 21: Offshore Wind Turbines: Design Considerations and the IEC ...web.mit.edu/windenergy/windweek/Presentations/P3 - Manwell.pdf · Offshore Wind Turbines: Design Considerations and the](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040823/5e6cf03eab021b67f275c5fb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

IEC 61400-3 External Conditions• Key external factors
– Wind– Waves– Other (currents, salinity, floating ice, …)
• Values chosen to find:– Normal loads, extreme loads, fatigue loads– Under Design Load conditions

Conclusions• OWT design affected by many factors
– Water depth– Distance from shore– External design conditions (wind, waves, etc.)– Soil type– Turbine size, details– Available infrastructure – Costs
• IEC 61400-3 will help avoid problems!
