Abstract
The paper is focused on a comparison of different design
guidelines and standards, with emphasize on the dominant
sea ice loads for offshore support structures for wind
turbines in the subarctic. The documents published by
Germanischer Lloyd (GL), The International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Det Norske Veritas
(DNV) and The International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) are accounted for in the comparison
as the key standards and guidelines. The comparison is
conducted on several layers of complexity. First, a
general applicability of the examined documents to
offshore wind turbines (OWT) is briefly studied. Then, an
examination of the standards upon their coverage on the
sea ice topic and interaction with various OWT support
structures is presented. And finally, a proposal for an
integrated set of design load cases, where a interaction
between various environmental conditions and an OWT, is
given
