隨著離岸風場近年於台灣的開發，發展離岸風力發電已經勢在必行，而在風能潛勢最為良好之新竹區域水深約為50 公尺，使用浮動風機擁有較高的經濟效益，於是梁等人設計出一種可調式張緊平台，其使用張緊繫泊作為纜繩形式，但因張緊式浮動風機的研發處於較為初始的階段，故針對張力腿浮標(Taught Leg Buoy, TLB)及張力腿式平台(Tension Leg Platform, TLP)兩種纜繩形式進行外在條件的敏感度分析，初步比較波浪週期、波譜能量與風推力對於張緊平台運動及纜繩張力之影響程度，並且以影響因子IF (Impact Factor)為敏感度之評估方法，選擇較不受外在條件影響之纜繩形式作為後續分析的依據。
對於浮動風機平台而言，波浪及風為主要對平台之外力條件。本文使用可調式平台上部搭載NREL 5MW 風機，並且以兩種不同的張緊纜繩形式，透過數值軟體FLOW-3D 模擬規則波不同週期的情形下，張緊平台之反應振幅運算子(RAO)，並以RAO 衡量波浪週期對於張緊平台的運動變化。而後續使用不規則波模擬張緊平台遭受不同海況條件下的運動響應，透過規則波與不規則波的數值模擬得到張緊平台對於波浪週期與波譜能量下之敏感程度。本文同時進行了1:64 張緊浮動風機平台縮尺水工試驗，進行數值與實驗的驗證，並且上部風機以無人機葉片進行風推力模擬，衡量風推力對於張緊平台之影響。
透過影響因子的分析，得到兩種張緊纜繩形式對於外在條件的敏感度，選用相對較不敏感的張緊纜繩形式進行極端海況下之可行性分析，並以張緊平台初步之規範，進行平台運動與張力的評估，發現纜繩出現鬆弛並且有瞬荷載(snap load)的發生，故以增加平台浮力方式進行優化，有效的避免了鬆弛現象的發生，並且確認纜繩沒有發生降伏的情況，初步判定其為一種可行之纜繩配置。

In Hsinchu, where the wind energy potential is the best in western Taiwan offshore water area, the water depth is about 50 to 100 meters, so Liang et al.(2020) proposed a patent of a tensioning platform concept to place in offshore water area in Taiwan. The objective of this research is to find the most suitable tensioning form to give this platform enough stability and evaluate whether this mooring system could resist extreme sea conditions.
In this research, the NREL 5MW wind turbine was installed on the top of platform. The test objects included free decay, regular wave and irregular wave by consideration of Hsinchu in numerical simulation. The hydraulic model test at 1/64 scale was also carried out to verify the correction of numerical simulation. Meanwhile, an onboard fan was used to simulate the wind thrust.
By using the numerical software FLOW-3D and the experiment, the obtained result shows that no matter numerical or experiment can find Tension Leg Platform (TLP) has a peak value in half of the natural period and the effect of wind is found to have less contribution than that of wave.
Furthermore, this research used impact factor as an evaluation method for comparing Taught Leg Buoy (TLB) with TLP and chose a mooring form that was less affected by external conditions as the basis for subsequent analysis. For the initial design of platform, the result can be found that the slack phenomenon will be happened because of the insufficient pretension. Therefore, it is optimized by increasing the buoyancy of the platform to make sure passing preliminary specifications for tensioning mooring. Thus, an optimization mooring system was proposed in this research.
