Background • OWTs are designed using aero-hydro-servo-elastic codes • The codes must be verified to assess their accuracy
OC3 Activities & Objectives The IEA Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration (OC3) is an international forum for OWT dynamics code verification • Discuss modeling strategies • Develop suite of benchmark models & simulations • Run simulations & process results • Compare & discuss results • Assess simulation accuracy & reliability • Train new analysts how to run codes correctly • Investigate capabilities of implemented theories • Refine applied analysis methods • Identify further R&D needs Activities Objectives
OC3 Approach & Phases Approach • All inputs are predefined: • NREL 5-MW wind turbine, including control system • Variety of support structures • Wind & wave datasets • A stepwise procedure is applied: • Load cases selected to test different model features • OC3 ran from 2005 to 2009: • Phase I – Monopile + Rigid Foundation • Phase II – Monopile + Flexible Found’tn • Phase III – Tripod • Phase IV – Floating Spar Buoy • 3-year follow-on project recently initiated: • Phase V – Jacket • Phase VI – Floating semisubmersible Phases
Floating Challenges & Phase IV Model • Low frequency modes: • Influence aerodynamic damping & stability • Large platform motions: • Coupling with turbine • Complicated shape: • Radiation & diffraction • Moorings • Statoil supplied data for 5-MWHywind conceptual design • OC3 adapted spar to support the NREL 5-MW turbine: • Rotor-nacelle assembly unchanged • Tower & control system modified Challenges OC3-Hywind OC3-Hywind Model

Summary • OC3 aims to verify OWT dynamics codes • Simulations tested a variety of OWT types & model features • Code-to-code comparisons have agreed well • Differences caused by variations in: • Model fidelity • Aero- & hydrodynamic theory • Model discretization • Numerical problems • User error • Future work will consider offshore jacket & semisubmersible • Verification is critical to advance offshore wind Spar Concept by SWAY Semisubmersible Concept
