SYNOPSIS If a wind turbine is located on a floating structure, it will experience rigid-body motions which could have a significant effect on the power output. This paper examines and develops methods for calculating the rigid body motion response in ocean waves of semi-submersible floating vessels suitable for mounting wind turbines. These methods are then utilised to optimise the layout candidate designs in order to minimise velocities and accelerations. It is found that the optimum layouts are an in-line design with stability abutments or a polygon based design, depending on whether or not the moorings allow the vessel to align with the wind direction.
