N2 - Wind resource assessment is essential for the development of offshore wind energy. In this study, we propose a design of tension-leg platform (TLP) based met mast for wind measurements. To evaluate the design, a time-domain numerical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of the TLP under wave, wind, current or earthquake excitations. Based on this model, the performance of the TLP under extremely harsh environmental conditions is numerically examined. The results show that (1) the developed numerical model is capable of predicting TLP motion responses and tendon tensions under various environmental conditions; (2) the performance of the present TLP design is satisfactory in the considered extreme sea state and seismic situation.
