Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This paper proposed a multi-disciplinary optimization framework to modify selected properties of the floating platform and mooring lines configuration. The study has superior application value. However, several issues should be addressed as follows.

  1. Line 329. Why do you assume zero wind speed in all simulations? Wind speed will affect the thrust coefficient of turbine, and thus determine the wake loss (see Energy, 2025, 324: 136080).
  2. Line 338. A complete flowchart can be made for the proposed framework.
  3. Line 409. The user defined weighting factors are introduced in the objective function. The performance with various weighs should be compared (see Energy, 2024, 288: 129745, Energy, 2022, 251: 123970).
  4. Line 431. The simulation time is determined to 2200 s. Please explain the reason.
  5. 6. The optimized result for anchor distance and spar distance from yaw axis are almost the same to the initial solution. Is this a coincidence?
  6. The vibration of floating turbine will affect the wake loss (see Physics of Fluids, 2024, 36(8): 085114). In this study, only the cost and the maximum yaw oscillation are considered. How about the wake loss?
