There has been an increase in research studies on large-scale floating offshore wind turbine systems in recent years due to favorable factors such as highly stable generator power, which further enables applications in deeper waters and yields stable wind energy. This study entailed a load evaluation for the tower design of a large floating offshore wind turbine system according to wave conditions. In the correlation analysis, the tower-top deflection had the highest correlation, and this further affects nacelle acceleration. In the correlation between significant wave height and wave peak period and tower pitch moment, the wave peak period is more dominant than the significant wave height. In addition, the tower pitch moment is reduced even if the shape is changed to have the same mass, which shows the possibility of economical tower redesign. View this paper
