Comparison of impulse based substructuring and fully coupled analysis for offshore wind turbines
(Master thesis, 2014)With an ever increasing demand for clean renewable energy, wind energy is a rapidly expanding market. Due to noise and visual pollution as well as limited space on land, offshore wind turbines are getting more popular. One ... -
Probabilistic estimation of fatigue loads on monopile-based offshore wind turbines - Application to sensitivity assessment & clustering optimization for support structure cost reduction
(Master thesis, 2015)Offshore wind energy faces three important trends: (1) wind farms grow in size, (2) monopiles are installed in deeper water, and (3) cost reduction remains the most important challenge. With wind farm size, the importance ... -
Structural Reliability Analysis and Robust Design of Offshore Wind Turbine Support Structures
(Master thesis, 2015)The purpose of this master thesis is to develop and evaluate a novel approach for performing structural reliability analysis and robust design of offshore wind turbine support structures. Offshore wind turbines are structures ...
