| Abstract | There are currently no offshore wind developments in Atlantic Canada, and there is limited experience in designing such structures for ice loads. This study highlights key design considerations for offshore wind turbines off Newfoundland’s west coast, emphasizing gaps in environmental data, particularly regarding sea ice conditions and ice load models. The analysis involves application of IEC 61400-3-1 design load cases for the parked mode of a 15 MW reference turbine on a 10 m diameter monopile in 45 m water depth using OpenFAST. The region is subject to winter storms and occasional hurricanes, with design cases covering 1-, 50-, and 500-year return periods. While wind and wave loads are well characterized, uncertainties remain in ice load estimation due to limited data on ice thickness and movement. Stochastic ice loads for assumed ice thicknesses of 0.5 m and 1.0 m |
