[0002] Offshore wind power is a new field of renewable energy development and an important direction for wind power development. In recent years, offshore wind power is gradually developing in the direction of deep sea. Compared with offshore wind power, deep sea wind power has broad application prospects due to its larger wind resource reserves and longer power generation time. However, as the water depth exceeds 50m, the cost of traditional fixed offshore wind turbine foundations rises sharply. In order to seek new technological breakthroughs, the concept of offshore floating wind turbine foundations came into being. Floating wind turbine foundations can adapt to different water depths, multiple wind directions and ocean current environments, and are the preferred foundation form for deep sea wind farms.

[0003] The reliability of the floating wind turbine mooring system is related to the safety of wind turbine operation. Common forms include gravity anchors, drilled grouting anchors, drag embedded anchors and normal load-bearing anchors. However, the above traditional anchoring systems involve seabed construction. Affected by harsh ocean loads and seabed geological conditions, the quality and reliability of anchoring are difficult to guarantee. In addition, the cost of the anchoring system is also relatively high. Therefore, how to ensure the reliability of the mooring system while controlling its cost is one of the primary challenges faced by engineers.

[0004] As a major country in marine engineering construction, my country has built a large number of fixed structures at sea, such as offshore wind turbines, offshore booster stations and offshore platforms. How to use existing or under-construction offshore fixed structures as the carrier of the mooring system is undoubtedly a powerful way to improve the anchoring quality and reduce engineering costs.
