Main conclusions• The long-term joint env. model developed can be used for both power estimation
and fatigue assessment. Extrapolated extreme conditions might be used for extreme response prediction using the environmental contour method.e e e espo se p ed c o us g e e o e a co ou e od
• For the jacket wind turbine considered, a decoupled analysis method can be applied since the wave-induced responses are mainly quasi-static. However, there pp p y qare available integrated tools now. Fatigue in the jacket foundation is dominated by wind turbine loads.
• Simplified aerodynamic model can be used for rigid-body motion analysis of floating wind turbines in a preliminary design. Further validation is needed.
• In line with the development of integrated tools for floating wind turbines, various modelling techniques for floaters have also been applied with an aim of obtaining structural responses directly from time-domain global analysis and then for local analysisanalysis.
• Frequency-domain cycle counting methods in particular for multi-modal processes are developed and might be used for fatigue analysis of offshore wind turbines.
