Abstract

Quad-spar tidal current power plant is a floating technology that has a mooring system. This system keeps the floating power plant in its installed position. The mooring lines are designed using a catenary system which is suitable for use in shallow to medium waters. The paper aims to analyze the mooring line tensions. It was numerically studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results are presented under conditions before and after being subjected to twin-turbines rotation load. The results of this mooring system study are presented in the form of time domain and maximum line tension for each of the significant waves. When the wave comes at head seas, the mooring line tension increases by up to 74.34% because of the co-rotating twin turbines. When the wave comes at the quartering seas, the mooring line tension increases by up to 89.87% because of the co-rotating twin turbines. These results can be a concern in determining the method and scheduling of mooring system maintenance when the Quad-spar twin-turbines tidal current power plant is going to operate.
