description Abstract To enhance the stability of floating wind turbine platforms, this study combines the structural characteristics of helical side plates and proposes the installation of serrated helical side plates on Spar wind turbine platforms. Based on potential flow theory, the present study employs blade element momentum theory and radiation‐diffraction theory. Upon establishing a dynamic data link library, wind‐wave coupling was implemented, and the dynamic response characteristics of platforms with different helical side plates were compared. The results indicate that in the frequency domain analysis, the platform with serrated helical side plates demonstrates reduced sensitivity to waves, with a particularly notable increase in added mass in the heave direction, suggesting excellent hydrodynamic performance. In the time domain analysis, improvements in the platform's surge and heave stability performances were observed, measuring 10.99% and 10.64%, respectively, in extreme conditions. Owing to the unique features of the serrated structure, the tension in the mooring chains on the wave‐facing side is reduced, thereby effectively lowering the fatigue load on the mooring chains.
