Abstract
In comparison to other types of floaters (like a spar or a semisubmersible), the Tension Leg Platform (TLP) has several notable advantages: its vertical motions are negligible, its weight is lighter, and its mooring system's footprint is smaller. While a TLP has a negligible response to first-order vertical wave loads, second-order wave loads need to be addressed. This paper follows up on a verification study of second-order wave loads on a TLP for wind turbines done by MARIN and NREL (Gueydon, Wuillaume, Jonkman, Robertson and Platt, 2015) and corrects some of its conclusions.
