Wind turbines are devices that capture the kinetic energy of the wind and transform it into electricity. Thepresent study sets up competitive analysis of jacket support structure for 3.6MW and 5MW offshore wind turbine (OWT),which is placed at water depth of 40m. The offshore structure design required because it is constantly subjected todynamic load such as wind load wave load, earthquake load. The analysis process of support structure including tower,transition piece, jacket substructure, is carried out by creating modeled in SAP2000. The forces and moments due towave and wind are calculation by using the API RP 2A-WSD. In this paper analysis and results are obtained in the formof deflection, axial force and base shear.
