Abstract
This study informs about power fluctuations caused by wind turbulence that should be
expected from a 15MW floating offshore wind turbine in the context of power supply to
an isolated grid with energy storage. To this end, appropriate engineering models are used
to screen through normal wind conditions to be encountered during the system's lifetime.
The impact of the various modelling assumptions is then assessed through sensitivity
studies. Power fluctuations are then translated into size requirements for energy storage,
when its objective is to filter fluctuations over a selected time horizon to provide stable
power to the isolated grid.
