Vertically Movable Tension Leg Mooring System for Offshore Floating Body Subject to Large Horizontal Loads

海底占有面積が狭小な沖合浮体係留方式に関する基礎研究

In this study, the concept of "vertically movable tension leg mooring system" is proposed for the purpose that an offshore floating body subject to comparatively large static horizontal loads for its scale, which is represented by floating wind power generator, ocean current power generator, etc., is moored so that the occupied plane area of the mooring system may become as small as possible. In the system, a gravity type template is hung from the floating body with vertical lines and the template is moored with relatively short catenary chains to seabed anchors. The advantages of the proposed system are discussed comparing mainly with the tension leg mooring, and the fundamental mooring characteristics are shown with model calculations.
