Sammendrag
Offshore wind has been an important topic for harvesting renewable energy in the last fewyears. Due to the low terrain roughness and large area, offshore wind is very attractive.This thesis provides the concept design for a hybrid steel/ glulam tension leg platform tosupport the IEA 15MW wind turbine. Pontoon design is a significant part of the thesis,starting from a base model, upscaling, and finalizing the design with a structural analysis. Thebase parameters are calculated using Microsoft Excel and then Ansys Mechanical to createand analyse the FEM- model. The result of the analysis gives confidence in the conceptdesign.
