Abstract
[en] This master thesis proposes the design of a floating foundation for a given offshore wind farm AC substation, which has been designed for a fixed foundation. Initially, a few adjustments are made to the substation, which would be expected if it had been designed for a floating foundation. Following this, the floater dimensions and structure are designed and the stability and seakeeping are assessed, focusing on the electrical equipment’s acceleration and heel operation limits. Finally, the mooring system is dimensioned and the tension in the power cables is assessed.
