Evaluation of the Response Amplitude Operator(s) of an Integrated Barge Floating Wind Turbine-Aquaculture

Many developing countries are unable to adopt offshore wind turbines as an environmentally friendly energy source due to the high initial expenditure needed to install one. An alternative solution has been developed that is more attractive to investors: an offshore wind turbine that is integrated with aquaculture. In this study, a study of changes in RAO characteristics was car-ried out from the Integrated Barge Floating Wind Turbine-Aquaculture design which was a modification of the Barge Floating Wind Turbine with addition-al net support structures around the barge using ANSYS AQWA software. From the results of the analysis that has been carried out, with the addition of a net support structure on the floating barge, it significantly affects RAO ro-tational motion (Rolling, Pitching, and Yawing), but does not have a signifi-cant effect on RAO translational motion (Heaving, Surging, and Swaying).
