This paper presents the modeling and simulation of offshore wind power platform for oil and gas companies. Wind energy has\nbecome the fastest growing renewable energy in the world and major gains in terms of energy generation are achievable when\nturbines are moved offshore.The objective of this project is to propose new design of an offshore wind power platform. Offshore\nwind turbine (OWT) is composed of three main structures comprising the rotor/blades, the tower nacelle, and the supporting\nstructure. The modeling analysis was focused on the nacelle and supporting structure. The completed final design was analyzed\nusing finite element modeling tool ANSYS to obtain the structure�s response towards loading conditions and to ensure it complies\nwith guidelines laid out by classification authority Det Norske Veritas. As a result, a new model of the offshore wind power platform\nfor 5MW Baseline NREL turbine was proposed.
