Abstract A new 5-MW floating offshore wind turbine moored by a spring-tensioned-leg was proposed for installa­tion in about 50m water depth. Its substructure is a platform of the inverted conical cylinder type with massive ballast weight plate at the bottom. A 1:128 scale model was built for the preliminary engineering development. The model tests in waves and wind were carried out to estimate motion characteristics of this platform in the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank of the University of Ulsan. Its motions were measured and the RAOs were compared. The proposed floating off­shore wind turbine showed a good stability and decent responses in waves, wind and operation of the wind turbine.
