A floa in g id al cu rren p ower s a ion is a yp ical ype of id al cu rren p ower ran sformers which can su s ain he loads of wind, waves, and curren , an d even he ex reme si ua ion of a yphoon. Therefore, he moorin g sy s em mus b e reliable en ough o keep he s a ion opera ing n ormally and o surv ive in ex reme si ua ions . The power s a ion ex amin ed in his paper was ins alled a a dep h of 40 m . A 4 4 mm-diame er R4-RQ4 ch ain w as chosen , wi h a 2 14 7 kN minimum break s ren g h and 50 kN pre ension. Common s udless link chain was used in his paper. Based on he Miner fa igue cumula ive d amage rule, S-N curves o f chains , and MOSES sof ware, a high ly reliable moorin g sys em was d esign ed and analyzed. The calcula ion resu l s show ha h e moorin g sys em d esign ed is reliable hrou ghou a 10-year period. I can comple ely mee h e design requiremen s of American Pe roleu m ins i u ion (API).
