It will be sited in an intermediate water depth (=75 m) of a coastal region. The feasibility for North Sea conditions for a structure with a life of 25 years has been examined. A modified design, slender and light to limit load and mass, of a typical guyed tower has been chosen. Wind and hydrodynamic forces from one direction have been taken into account to determine the static and dynamic load on the truss structure. Wind forces on the turbine rotor have been taken from an earlier study (Lange, 1983).
