Short summary
The document presents an experimental study on the parked loads of floating vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in a wind and wave basin, focusing on the effects of wind speed, solidity, and floating platform dynamics. Findings show that higher wind speed and higher solidity generally increase the parked loads, while a floating platform introduces additional effects due to tilting. A semi-numerical model was also presented to predict the parked loads, which helps enhance VAWT design.
