Short summary
We introduce fast response methods to predict how floating wind turbines behave in early design stages. By transforming the equations of motion into a form that is easier to compute, our approach avoids longer simulations while preserving accuracy. We developed both single and double perturbation methods, which run far faster than standard models with errors under 3.5 %. The single perturbation method at second order offers the strongest balance of speed and accuracy.
