- A systematic parametric numerical study was conducted to examine the coupled dynamics of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine platform.
- A two-stage workflow combining linear screening and nonlinear time-domain simulations was employed to provide a more realistic response assessment.
- Surge, heave, and pitch were identified as the dominant motions, while sway, roll, and yaw remained negligible in the investigated cases.
- Platform performance was governed by interacting design variables, including heave-plate geometry, offset-column configuration, mass distribution, and mooring characteristics.
- The results indicate a favorable and stable design range, supporting a robust design envelope rather than a single unique optimum.
