Numerical Studies on Tension-leg Platform Wind Turbine In Malaysia

In this new era of advanced technologies, there are many solutions to overcome the energy
problems among developed countries especially when it comes to non-renewable energy.
A lot of high power and advanced country already implementing the usage of renewable
energy technology such as wind turbine. Malaysia however, is still far from implementing
such technology and still in its first step. Wind turbine technology has become more
advanced in recent years with the shift from onshore to offshore to gain higher amount of
wind energy. The offshore wind turbine began to develop from fixed platform to floating
offshore platform. The floating wind turbine are considered to be the next step in the
development of wind energy. The floating platform in this case can overcome the depth
problem. The floating platform can ensure that the wind turbine can be placed in deeper
water depth which in most countries has better average of wind velocity and more space.
