Short summary
This paper presents gigawatt-scale floating wind farm reference designs tailored to the site conditions of three regions. The array designs use a 15 MW semisubmersible floating turbine and include the array layout, mooring systems, dynamic power cables, array cable routing, and floating substations. The layout methodology includes spatial constraints for each subsystem. The resulting arrays provide open-source baseline designs to facilitate future floating wind research at the array scale.
