• Effect of Load Sequence and Weather Seasonality on Fatigue Crack Growth for Monopile-based Offshore Wind Turbines 

      Ziegler, Lisa Sabine; Schafhirt, Sebastian; Scheu, Matti Niclas; Muskulus, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Offshore wind turbines are subjected to variable amplitude loading, but the impact of load sequence is commonly neglected in fatigue analysis. This paper presents an initial investigation if load sequence and weather ...
    • Maintenance Strategies for Large Offshore Wind Farms 

      Scheu, Matti Niclas; Matha, Denis; Hofmann, Matthias; Muskulus, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Up to one third of the total cost of energy from offshore wind generation is contributed by operation and maintenance (O&M). Compared to its onshore counterpart, this fraction is significantly higher. Costs are not only ...
