In this paper, the modified environmental contour method (MECM) for long-term extreme response prediction are explained and tested for the OC4 DeepCwind 5-MW semi-submersible wind turbine with the environmental conditions at two different locations in the North Sea. MECM is a simplified method that is based on the original environmental contour method (ECM) but with modification to be better suited...
Predicting extreme responses is very important in designing a bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines. The commonly used method that account for the variability of the response and the environmental conditions is the full long-term analysis (FLTA), which is accurate but time consuming. It is a direct integration of all the probability distribution of short-term extremes and the environmental conditions...
