Dynamic responses of a 5 MW floating vertical-axis wind turbine: a hybrid wave basin test study with precomputed aerodynamic loads

Abstarct Floating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are promising for deep-water wind energy, but basin-scale experiments remain challenging because model-scale rotor aerodynamics cannot be reproduced consistently under Froude-scaled conditions. This study presents a hybrid mod...
