Abstract The EU Horizon 2020 project COREWIND (COst REduction and increase
performance of floating WIND technology) has developed two floating platforms for the new …

The size of newly installed offshore wind farms increases rapidly. Planned offshore wind
farm clusters have a rated capacity of several gigawatt and a length of up to one hundred …

This paper presents a study on the role of kinematic interaction effects on the seismic
response of large monopile-supported offshore wind turbines. For this purpose, a finite …

This work considers the characteristics and drivers of the loads experienced by wind turbine
main bearings. Simplified load response models of two different hub and main-bearing …

While most physics involved in wind energy are nonlinear, linearization of the underlying
nonlinear wind-system equations is often important for understanding the system response …

In light of the energy transition to a fossil-free energy system, Europe is experiencing a
colossal shift toward renewable energy generation. To facilitate the rapidly growing demand …

The trend toward longer blades in offshore wind turbines poses a significant structural
design challenge, given their flexibility and larger load variations. While the study of …

Large-scale exploitation of offshore wind energy is deemed essential to provide its expected
share to electricity needs of the future. To achieve the same, turbine and farm-level …

Vortex-Induced Vibrations (VIV) of wind turbine towers during installation is an aero-
structural problem of significant practical relevance. Vibrations may happen in the tower …

Traditionally, wind turbine and wind farm designs have been optimized to minimize the cost
of energy. Such a design would make sense when bidding in price-based auctions …
