Background
This work was carried out within the framework of the WEAMEC projects SOFTWIND and FLOATEOLE, within the framework of the FVW project (Free Vortex Wind) from ANRT.
SOFTWIND and FLOATEOLE are WEAMEC projects with the funding from the Pays de la Loire Region and and Europe (European Regional Development Fund).
Abstract
This paper Effects of platform motions on FOWT rotor performances presents the works developed at Centrale Nantes towards a better understanding on FOWT motions impact through three project :
- FVW project: Impact of numerical modelling assumptions on power curve and global motions
- SOFTWIND project: Impact of experimental modelling assumptions global motions
- FLOATEOLE project: Impact of platform motions on wake properties
