Tension Leg Platforms (TLP) have started to become popular structures both in offshore oil extraction and wind energy sectors. A challenging topic in this field has arisen by the adoption of TLP based wind turbines (TLPWT) into intermediate water depths. In this study, a TLPWT has been geometrically optimized for the coordinates of 03°E 56°N offshore of UK in the North Sea. Focused on the exciting wave forces, an optimization has been carried out to find out the geometrical shape yielding least wave forces on the structure, which depict the fundamental force component under the defined circumstances. The structural dimensions of the TLP have been obtained by solving for the least displacement and satisfying the limits for natural frequency and surge displacement values and it has been found that an 8567 tonnes of displacement is optimum. Based on the result achieved and related structural dimensions stated below, it can be concluded that TLPWTs are far from being feasible in shallow regions, where the main limitation rises due to the drastical reduction in the surge natural frequency of the structure in intermediate and shallow water depths.

Experimental Study of a TLP Offshore Floating Wind Turbine Oğuz, Elif; Clelland, David; İncecik, Atilla; Dai, Saishuai; López, Juan Amate; Sánchez, Gustavo (null; 2016-07-18) Tank testing in a wind and wave environment is a key part of the design process for the development of an offshore floating wind turbine. The current paper describes an extensive experiment campaign carried out at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory at the University of Strathclyde to determine the hydrodynamic performance of the Iberdrola TLPWIND offshore floating wind turbine with the NREL 5MW reference turbine over a range of environmental conditions. Tests were carried out for 70m water depth and the de...
Effects of numerical weather predictions on wind power forecasts Işık Çetin, İrem; Yücel, İsmail; Sarı, Ramazan; Department of Earth System Science (2018) Wind energy investments are rapidly increasing in Turkey. The prediction of the electrical power generated from the wind is also gaining importance in this field because of the complexity of meteorological parameter wind. In this context, Wind Energy Monitoring and Forecasting Center (RITM) project has been initiated within the scope of the General Directorate of Renewable Energy (YEGM), in 2010. The final hourly wind energy predictions are generated by using the combination of the production data from Wind...
Hydrodynamic analysis of floating offshore wind turbine concepts: a case study in Black Sea Yıldırım, Büşra; Oğuz, Elif; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-10-19) In the literature, well-validated hydrodynamic programs such as WAMIT are used to analyze the hydrodynamics of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). In this thesis, potential use of an opensource hydrodynamic solver for the hydrodynamic modeling of FOWTs is investigated using HAMS. For this purpose, hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from HAMS are compared to the first-order hydrodynamic solution of AQWA and WAMIT. The hydrodynamic model of three FOWT concepts, such as OO-Star, Nautilus, and CENTEC...
A NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF A TLP SYSTEM Koç, Melodi Neşe; Oğuz, Elif; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-5-06) Renewable energy is becoming a popular research topic over the last decades. The floating wind turbine system consists of a typical wind turbine with a platform that the tower of the turbine is implemented. One of the popular floating systems is known as Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs). In this study, TLP is chosen due to the limiting nature of the system in terms of heave, roll and pitch motions. Due to the complexity of the system, coupling analysis of TLPs become important. In this thesis, a benchmark study...
Assessment of renewable energy based micro-grids for small communities Sadati, S.M. Sajed; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-7) Deploying renewable energy systems to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize renewable energy systems with conventional power systems and include energy storage systems. In this study, the feasibility analysis of two cases for electricity generation systems as (i) photovoltaic (PV)-battery-pumped hydro system (PHS) and (ii) PV-wind-battery are presented as a Renewable Energy Micro-Gr...
