Abstract:
Semi-submersible wind turbine platforms capable of floating on a body of water and supporting wind turbines, and a method of manufacturing the semi-submersible wind turbine platforms from advanced cementitious composite material are provided. The method includes determining at a first iteration topological outputs of the wind turbine platform including a plurality of modular sections consisting of an advanced cementitious composite (ACC) material, obtaining a second iteration from the topological outputs, the second iteration including a second model platform and a second model tower of the wind turbine platform, and obtaining addition iterations via simulation to attain a final model platform and a final model tower, the final model platform and the final model tower including a layout of the plurality of modular sections and connections for a platform and a tower of the wind turbine platform.
