Offshore wind turbines are exposed during their serviceable lifetime to a wide range of loads
from aero-, hydro-and structural dynamics. This complex loading scenario will have an …

The acceleration at the tower top and the force on the tower root are the critical indicators for
the structural safety of floating wind turbine (FOWT) towers. However, the corresponding …

The simplicity and computational efficiency of lumped plasticity beam-column element
models have been widely utilized for nonlinear response estimation of reinforced concrete …

The sustained development over the past decades of the offshore wind industry has seen
older wind farms beginning to reach their design lifetime. This has led to a greater interest in …

Fatigue has become a major consideration factor in modern offshore wind farms as
optimized design codes, and a lack of lifetime reserve has made continuous fatigue life …

Substructures of offshore wind turbines are becoming older and beginning to reach their
design lifetimes. Hence, lifetime extensions for offshore wind turbines are becoming not only …

Comparing with the fixed wind turbines, the dynamic characteristics of floating wind turbines
(FWTs) are more complex and resulting in distinctions in the monitoring system for structural …

This work proposes a methodology aiming at simulating the whole wind farm behavior, from
the wake phenomena to the wind turbine fatigue loads, in a both accurate and efficient way …

In the present contribution, data from a measurement campaign on XL monopiles (with 9.5
MW turbines and water depths of up to 36 m) is presented. This campaign is based on data …

The operational life of offshore wind turbines is in part driven by the fatigue life of key
structural components, such as the substructure. In recent years, fatigue life management of …
