Offshore Triceratops
Recent Advanced Applications
This chapter explains the application of offshore triceratops as support systems for wind turbines. It presents developments in conceptual models of triceratops with different types of buoyant leg configurations. The chapter also presents conceptual models of stiffened and elliptical buoyant legs. In a stiffened triceratops, the buoyant legs of the basic triceratops are modified with cylindrical columns that are interconnected to the central moon pool by a finite number of stiffeners. The response amplitude operator results of the translational response of the deck and buoyant legs of the stiffened triceratops show that the values are directly proportional to the linear displacement of the structure. The natural frequencies of the triceratops given different degrees of freedom are assessed through power spectral density plots. An offshore triceratops derives an advantage from the chosen geometric form in addition to being advantageous for deepwater and ultra‐deepwater applications.
