Abstract Most active Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts are based on harvesting
energy from ocean waves by placing buoyant bodies in the sea. As the bodies are forced to …

In this paper, the structural response of steel tubular wind turbine towers with various design
configurations is analysed using FEM modelling. Towers of various heights between 50 and …

The fatigue life prediction for offshore wind turbine support structures is computationally
demanding, requiring the consideration of a large number of combinations of environmental …

Controlling the system—the environment of power plants is called such a transformation—
their material, energy and information inputs in time, which will ensure that the purpose of …

A very efficient type of wind turbine tower is the tubular steel tower configured as a cantilever
