Beer, Theresa (author)With the rising demand for renewable energy, floating offshore wind turbines have gained importance, particularly in regions where deep waters prevent the use of traditional monopile structures. These floating turbines rely on mooring lines for stability against environmental conditions, particularly when facing strong winds and high waves....master thesis 2023

Douma, Laurens Jan (author)The replacement of conventional generation units with variable renewable energy sources could have a negative impact on the balance of supply and demand of electricity. Moreover, since the variable renewable energy sources are inverter based and therefore decoupled from the grid, the overall grid inertia will decrease. To solve this problem, the...master thesis 2023

Markolefas, Panagiotis (author)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...master thesis 2020

Jonoski, Ilin (author)Over the last decade, the demand for offshore power cables has increased significantly due to, in particularly, the emergence of offshore wind. Despite this growth, industry-wide rules and guidelines to analyse fatigue during cable installation operations are yet to be developed, even though fatigue can become an important...master thesis 2020

Ali, Irfan (author)Offshore wind farms are being developed at locations with moderate ice conditions such as the Baltic Sea, where drifting sea ice upon interacting with offshore structures could lead to the development of a phenomenon known as Ice-induced vibrations (IIV). These vibrations are especially severe when the turbine is idling. Current mitigation...master thesis 2019
