  • Publication number: 20250026457
    Abstract: Proposed is an arrangement of local structures for TLP-type floating offshore wind turbine platform stress distribution and strength enhancement, the arrangement being characterized in that a plurality of supporting members of which at least one is elongated in a different direction protrudes from the bottom plate of a node, so the top plate of the node to which load is applied by a wind turbine is supported by the supporting members, stress is distributed, and damage to the top plate is prevented such that the wind turbine can be stably supported through the node.
