Deliverable 2.3 Design Load Case Database for Code-to-Code Comparison

In work package 2 of FLOATECH a detailed validation and verification of the capabilities of QBlade-Ocean is ongoing. Thereby, three wind turbine models mounted on floating substructures with differing characteristics serve as the means for the validation.This dataset contains Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) calculations in various design situations, computed with three different codes. In more detail, three floating platform archetypes are used in the code-to-code comparison ongoing in work package 2: a semi-submersible-type floater and a spar-type floater as well as the Hexafloat® concept recently proposed by Saipem®. The three test-cases are the NREL 5MW RWT mounted on the DeepCwind semi-submersible platform, the DTU 10MW RWT mounted on the SOFTWIND spar-type platform and the DTU 10MW RWT mounted on the Hexafloat® platform. More details regarding the dataset structure and the testcases can be found in the accompanying document
