Dynamic Response of a Floating Dual Vertical-Axis Tidal Turbine System with Taut and Catenary Mooring Under Extreme Environmental Conditions in Non-Operating Mode by Yunjun Lee, Jinsoon Park, Woo Chul Chung

“…Using time-domain simulations via OrcaFlex 11.4, the floating platform’s motion and mooring line effective tensions are evaluated under high waves, strong wind, and current loads. The results reveal that sway and heave motions are significantly influenced by wave excitation, with the catenary system exhibiting larger responses due to mooring system features, while the taut system experiences higher mooring effective tension but shows more restrained motion. …”
