Studies were conducted on a bottom fixed offshore wind turbine with jacket type substructure, including structural optimization and parametric studies for a newly developed three-legged jacket. The four-legged jacket adapted for the NREL 5MW reference turbine within the IEA Task 30 OC4 project was s...
