The Environment Load And The Strength Analysis Of The Offshore Wind Turbine Support Structure

Offshore wind turbine support structure is subjected to both wind turbine deadweight and environment load include wind load, wave load and current load. The loads are transferred to the sea bed by the pile. The paper introduced the environment load and designed the support structure by the SACS software. At last the paper checked the strength of the support structure. The SACS software simulated the environment load and the effect between the pile and the sea bed using the PSI program.The paper also analyzed the vibratory of the support structure and calculated the force of the support structure in the condition of earthquake. The strength of support structure is checked automatically by the SACS earthquake program.
