A significant number of wind turbines will reach the end of their planned service life in the
near future. A decision on lifetime extension is complex and experiences to date are limited …

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 …

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are subjected to both quasi‐static loads originating from
variations in the thrust force and dynamic loads linked to turbulence, waves and turbine …

In this work, we implement, verify, and validate a physics-based digital twin solution applied
to a floating offshore wind turbine. The digital twin is validated using measurement data from …

Health and condition monitoring of composite structures are critical in engineering
especially in the wind, civil, aviation, and auto industries. However, considering the …

In recent decades, Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) have become crucial to the clean energy
transition, yet they face significant safety challenges due to harsh marine conditions. Key …

In engineering, the wind excitations acting on the offshore wind turbine (OWT) structure
cannot be obtained directly by the measured method. The traditional load simulation way …

Virtual sensing techniques have gained traction in applications to the structural health
monitoring of monopile-based offshore wind turbines, as the strain response below the …

Validating numerical models are one of the main aspects of engineering design. However,
correlating million degrees of freedom of numerical models to the few degrees of freedom of …

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 …
