Abstract: In recent years there has been a growing interest in investigating offshore wind turbine structures and several different concept designs have been proposed. This work analyzes one such floating wind turbine concept design and its stability under loading from ice fields. Based from this analysis, a maximum allowable size of an ice field can be determined by using Russian standards. These calculations can be useful in deciding whether the design concept is suitable for operation under a determined arctic offshore area, given the specific conditions in the region.
