Expected annual energy production of unmoored floating offshore wind turbines using ERA5 data
2026
Overview
UFOWTs (Unmoored Floating Offshore Wind Turbines) are a new concept of floating offshore wind turbine in which mooring lines are replaced by thrusters. This approach has several advantages, e.g it may open exploitation of far offshore wind, but only if the thrusters power consumption is kept low enough. This research aims at estimating the annual production of UFOWTs. To do so, a steady state model is implemented, taking into account environmental loads from wind and waves, based on realistic meteocean data from ERA-5 database. The results are promising, as they indicate that a UFOWT can achieve 56 % to 69 % of the production of a conventional FOWT depending on how far the UFOWT is allowed to drift away from its initial position.
