Mojto, Maroš (author), Cabboi, A. (author)This study aims at shedding light on the mechanical behaviour of a prototype monopile–wind turbine tower connection, constituted by a slip joint. Selected examples of data set recorded during a long term monitoring campaign are illustrated and discussed. The data set encompass axial and hoop stresses measured over the slip joint area,...journal article 2023

Li, M. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Carroll, James (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The determination of maintenance strategies is subject to complexity and uncertainty arising from variable offshore wind farm states and inaccuracies in model parameters. The most common method in the existing studies is to adopt an open-loop approach to optimize a maintenance strategy. However, this approach lacks the ability to capture...journal article 2023

Vergassola, M. (author), Cabboi, A. (author), van der Male, P. (author), Colomés, Oriol (author)This work aims to develop a low-fidelity model for a lattice support structure for offshore wind applications. The proposed low-fidelity model consists of a sequence of regular Timoshenko beams, each of them characterized by homogenized mechanical and mass properties representative of the single bays of the reference space-frame structure....journal article 2023

Dong, J. (author), Viré, A.C. (author), Li, Zhangrui (author)In our previous study, the vortex ring state (VRS) prediction criteria were introduced from helicopter's realm and applied to floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The existence of the VRS on FOWTs was also successfully predicted. However, the prediction criteria we used have not been verified by comparing them with similar studies because...journal article 2022

Diab, I. (author), Scheurwater, Bram (author), Saffirio, Alice (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Reducing the environmental impact of transportation requires the successful integration of renewable energy sources into the electrical transportation networks. However, the mismatch between renewable generation and the intermittent bus schedules causes temporary absence of loads and creates considerable excess energy, potentially rendering...journal article 2022

Dong, J. (author), Viré, A.C. (author)The rotor of floating offshore wind turbines with platform motions may undergo different working states during its operation, e.g. from windmill working state to vortex ring and propeller working state. In this paper, an aerodynamic model based on a free wake vortex method is used to simulate the rotor undergoing surge motion. The associated...journal article 2022

Gonzalez Silva, J. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Wind turbine (WT) controllers are often geared towards maximum power extraction, while suitable operating constraints should be guaranteed such that WT components are protected from failures. Control strategies can be also devised to reduce the generated power, for instance to track a power reference provided by the grid operator. They are...conference paper 2022

Li, B. (author), Basu, S. (author), Watson, S.J. (author), Russchenberg, H.W.J. (author)In the coming decades, the European energy system is expected to become increasingly reliant on non-dispatchable generation such as wind and solar power. Under such a renewable energy scenario, a better characterization of the extreme weather condition ‘Dunkelflaute’, which can lead to a sustained reduction of wind and solar power, is important....journal article 2021

Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Di Noi, Sandro (author), Ren, Zhengru (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)Leading edge erosion (LEE) repairs of wind turbine blades (WTBs) involve infield application of leading edge protection (LEP) solutions. The industry is currently aiming to use factory based LEP coatings that can applied to the WTBs before they are shipped out for installation. However, one of the main challenges related to these solutions is...journal article 2021

Li, M. (author), Jiang, X. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Operation & maintenance (O&M) costs account for a large portion of total life cycle cost for onshore wind energy, and the amount is estimated to be more for offshore wind energy. Developing a sound opportunistic maintenance strategy is a solution to reduce O&M costs and enhance wind energy's competitiveness. When the wind farm is...journal article 2021

Joustra, J.J. (author), van der Meulen, Thomas Hajonides (author), Bastein, Ton (author), Swamy, Siddharth Krishna (author), Saraswati, Novita (author)A significant part of wind energy in the Netherlands is generated by offshore wind farms at sea. In the coming decades, the number of wind farms will be scaled up in line with current energy transition and sustainability objectives. What happens to these wind turbines when they reach the end of their operational life? What volumes of material...report 2020

Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Nascimento, Leonardo (author), Filatova, Tatiana (author)Local energy initiatives (LEIs) are communities of households who self-organize to meet their energy demand with locally produced green energy. They facilitate citizen participation by developing context-specific solutions, which calls for leadership and complex social dynamics. We present an agent-based simulation model to explore the...journal article 2020
