Abstract

Global warming may change the wind and wave pattern, thus altering the dynamic behavior of offshore wind turbine (OWT). This study examines the impact of climate change on the sustainable design and wind energy production of monopile-supported OWT in soft clay incorporating future wind speed, wave height, and period. Two offshore locations, namely, at east and west coasts in India, are selected. For both the locations, wind speed, wave height, and wave period are obtained from the buoy deployed by the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) from 1998–2006. Statistical downscaling method is used to predict the future wind speed, wave height, and wave period due to climate change for the period of 2006–2040. The observed data is compared with the downscaled data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis data to calibrate the statistical downscaling model. The general circulation model (GCM) predictor variables for various global carbon dioxide emission scenarios are used for future climate change. This study shows that the modification in design of OWT is required due to change in dynamic behavior of OWT considering future climate.
