Comparison of Coupled and Uncoupled Modeling of Floating Wind Farms with Shared Anchors by Katherine Coughlan, Ericka Lozon, Matthew Hall, Bruce Martin, Sanjay Arwade

“…A three-line shared anchor is evaluated for multiple loading scenarios in deep water, using the International Energy Agency 15 MW turbine on the VolturnUS-S semisubmersible platform. While the two methods produce broadly comparable results, the coupled wave loading on platforms within the farm results in wave force cancellations and amplifications that decrease multiline force directional ranges and increase multiline force extreme values (up to 7%) and standard deviations (up to 11%) for wave-driven load cases. …”
