    Abstract

    In this paper, dynamic response of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) with spar-type floating foundation at power generation is presented. The FOWT mounts a 100kW wind turbine of down-wind type, with the rotor's diameter of 22m and a hub-height of 23.3m. The floating foundation consists of PC-steel hybrid spar. The upper part is made of steel whereas the lower part made of prestressed concrete segments. The FOWT was installed at the site about 1km offshore from Kabashima Island, Goto city, Nagasaki prefecture on June 11th, 2012. Since then, the field measurement had been made until its removal in June 2013. In this paper, the dynamic behavior during the power generation is presented, where the comparison with the numerical simulation by aero-hydroservo- mooring dynamics coupled program is made.
