Time and frequency domain analysis of self installing mono column wind float during operational phase

Offshore wind power is relatively a new emergent and is proving to be a better and superior alternative for producing carbon neutral energy. However the huge investments mainly in the form of capital (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) casts a great doubt over the economic feasibility and viability towards the expansion of offshore wind power into deep waters. The present paper proposes a novel floating substructure designed and conceived by Nagan Srinivasan, incorporating the transportation and self-installation capability integrated within the primary design itself. This reduces the total investment incurred by reducing the CAPEX involved and hence sustains the planned and well documented growth of floating offshore wind farmsto deeper waters.
