Validation of aero-hydro-servo-elastic load and motion simulations in BHawC/OrcaFlex for the Hywind Scotland floating offshore wind farm

Climate change, as a result from global warming, requires an energy transition: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and a radical innovation of the global energy system to proceed apace. Offshore wind is an important source of clean, renewable energy, and it plays a key role in the transition. 80% of the worldwide...

Integral Support Structure and Controller Design of an Offshore Wind Turbine

In the past decade, the wind energy subsidies provided by the Dutch government is declining. In order to adopt wind energy as a well-established source of renewable energy, the costs of (offshore) wind energy should be lowered. This can be achieved by increasing the energy production or by lowering the maintenance and initial costs. In search of...
