Frequency Domain Fatigue Analysis of Offshore Wind Monopile Support Structure: For the Purpose of Offshore Wind Farm Optimization

The preliminary design of wind turbine support structures within an offshore wind farm plays a significant role in decreasing the costs involved and is pivotal in establishing the wind sector as a leading contributor towards a sustainable future. During the early design stages, the optimization of structural dimensions, which involves a large...

Simplified Fatigue Assessment of Offshore Wind Turbine Full Height Lattice Structures in the Frequency Domain

New concepts for support structures of offshore wind turbines have gained interest in the industry and are examined for intermediate and deep water depths in order to unlock new offshore potential markets. One of the main proposals that has already been commercialized is the three or four leg full height lattice structure. The fatigue assessment...
