Summary:In this paper, the overall finite element model is established, to analyze the small-sized floating foundation of a tri-floater and to make a local optimization on the stress concentration area. The transfer functions and the response spectrums of wave load and motion of floating wind turbine system are calculated by AQWA. Besides the concept of the floating foundation group is put forward in this paper. It is small in structure, easy to assemble, and it can be developed for any power of wind field.This concept has a certain reference value for the development of offshore wind industry in China.
