Reduction of fatigue computational time for offshore wind turbine jacket foundations: Investigation of lumping methods for correlated wind-wave data and frequency-domain approach

Recognizing climate change as a result of more than 150 years of industrial activity, and due to the emission reduction protocols set internationally, wind energy has become the mainstream source of energy for many developed nations. Due to the prospect of large scale energy generation, wind energy has moved offshore. Offshore wind farms are...

Evaluation of the Fatigue Resistance of Offshore Jacket Joints by Numerical Approaches

Jacket support structures are a preferred solution for offshore wind turbines in deeper waters. Extensive knowledge exists in relation to its construction technique as well as its crucial components, but due to considerable cost pressure, continued optimization is essential for the future competitiveness of the concept in the offshore wind...
