  abstract  = {With floating offshore wind turbines, new sources of wind energy can be used, which cannot be tapped into by bottom-fixed wind turbine systems. However, due to their design, they experience additional motion caused by wind and wave loads. The motions that are induced into the system have an oscillating course. This affects the aerodynamic properties of the wind turbine and leads to changes in the thrust force and power output of floating wind turbines compared to bottom-fixed wind turbines. Furthermore, the motions lead to an earlier breakdown of the helical wake structure behind the wind turbine and moreover lead to a decreased reliability of the rotor blades. Differences in the effects of wind and wave loads on the aerodynamic performance of floating offshore wind turbines supported by different platform systems were found.},
