In particular, the target to reach 50 GW of offshore wind energy is encouraging. Offshore fixed (<em>monopile, jacket, gravity base<\/em>) &amp; floating (<em>spar, semisubmersible<\/em>) wind turbine foundations have become an innovative and promising technology in deep-water (&lt; 500m) locations having high wind energy densities and eliminating the issues of visual impact &amp; noise. These offshore wind resources will make a commercial and technological development of OWTF more economically attractive in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the water depth, geotechnical and environmental <strong>wind-wave-current<\/strong> conditions, the motions of floating foundations are dynamically controlled by the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>mooring systems<\/em><\/span> which represent major cost components and can certainly influence overall turbines performance characteristics. In addition, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>subsea power cables<\/em><\/span> are part of the floating systems, being key components for transporting energy from wind turbines to offshore substations and onshore facilities. <strong>FlexNARA<\/strong> is developing an intelligent approach to optimize mooring\/power cable design with a fully coupled nonlinear dynamics and reliability analysis alongside in-house experimental tests.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_279\" style=\"width: 965px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/narakorn.srinil\/files\/2016\/10\/iJacket.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279\" class=\"wp-image-279 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/narakorn.srinil\/files\/2016\/10\/iJacket.png\" alt=\"iJacket\" width=\"955\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/narakorn.srinil\/files\/2016\/10\/iJacket.png 955w, https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/narakorn.srinil\/files\/2016\/10\/iJacket-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/narakorn.srinil\/files\/2016\/10\/iJacket-768x487.png 768w, https:\/\/www.staff.ncl.ac.uk\/narakorn.srinil\/files\/2016\/10\/iJacket-474x300.png 474w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Modelling an offshore wind turbine jacket<\/p><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wind turbine tower dynamics\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7pIT_25weX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EU has identified an ambitious goal of obtaining 20% of total energy consumption requirements with renewable energy by 2020.
