Current service and installation activities to offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are mainly carried out by jack-up vessels. These vessels are less susceptive to disturbances caused by sea waves when they lift their hull from the water level by jacking down multiple legs to the seabed. An alternative is a crane mounted on a floating vessel, which has...

This report investigates the potential reduction of steel weight for offshore wind turbine supporting jacket structures, if conventional welded joints are replaced by innovative wrapped FRP joints. This new type of connection is under development by Dr. Marko Pavlovic at the Delft University of Technology, and shows outstanding fatigue...

Offshore wind energy has become a very hot topic in northwest Europe, both from an industrial as from an academic point of view. Research on transmission grids for offshore wind energy focuses predominately on radial grids and HVDC. This study broadens this general scope by taken mesh grids and HVAC as the starting point. With the use of load...

Floating wind turbines are becoming fashionable within the Renewable Energy world. In the last years MARIN has been involved in an increasing number of projects for the offshore wind industry. The complete simulation of a full-scale free-floating wind turbine under waves and winds using viscous-flow (Unsteady-Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes...

The installation of floating wind farms in deeper water is encouraged by the stronger and steadier wind, the lower visibility and noise impact, the absence of road restrictions, but also the absence or shortage of shallow water. In the summer of 2009, the first large-scale floating wind turbine ”Hywind” was installed. Hywind is a spar-buoy...

In conventional practice extreme design conditions for offshore structures are obtained very conservatively by extrapolating 3-hourly statistics of wind, wave and current data to a (say) 100 year return level, assuming that the 100-year extremes occur simultaneously and act in the same direction. This study involves an alternative approach...
