Based on modal analysis, the environmental loads of an offshore wind turbine under extreme conditions are analyzed, including the static wind load on the support structure, the static current load and wave load on the foundation. The vortex-induced vibrations caused by wind and current have also been studied. The dynamic displacement and bending moment characteristics of the offshore wind turbine support structure under the extreme conditions have been analyzed.
