Abstract: The article presents the conducted study to analyze the development and impact of scour on the foundation of the jacket type offshore wind turbine that is exposed to wave and current. In the study made in the Near-Shore Wave Basin (NSWB) at the Tainan Hydraulics Laboratory (THL) in Taiwan, two locations of the foundations are independently simulated. It cites the four-layer scour protection that is tested to be effective in scour prevention of jacket type foundation at water depth of 12 meters (m) and 16m.
