Spar, semisubmersible and barge platforms are modelled based on the full-scale demonstration projects in Japan for a generic 5 MW turbine. Three platforms are evaluated with the structural and stability parameters. The characteristic of floater motions and mooring forces are clarified by performing the dynamic analysis. The dynamic responses are validated with the water tank tests. The levelized cost of energy is assessed by using the engineering cost model.
