Offshore wind energy is poised for significant growth, with three major trends emerging: larger wind turbines, offshore wind farm sites in deeper waters further from the coast, and a shift towards floating offshore wind energy. While current floating wind turbines are installed using a tow-to-site strategy, the increasing size of turbines and...

The idea of shared mooring systems has been introduced in the offshore wind farm industry as an effort to lower the overall installation costs for floating offshore wind farms. The reason for building such plants is that using floating turbines allows them to move to deeper waters, reducing visual and environmental impact and allowing footprint...

Reducing the levelised cost of energy is crucial to accelerating the energy transition. To develop offshore wind solutions in greater water depths, a floating solution is required. The time-domain simulations of these Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) under wind-wave misalignment used in research and industry projects are computationally...

Renewable forms of energy, and especially wind energy, have become an integral part of the energy infrastructure around the globe. However, the constant increase of installed wind capacity has put a strain on the selection of potential onshore locations for wind turbine installation. As a result, the wind industry is focusing on offshore...

In contrast to traditional power cables for bottom-founded offshore wind turbines, power cables for floating wind turbines penetrate the water column and are exposed to cyclic loading. Due to the dynamic nature of the cable loading, the cables are prone to fatigue failure. Since the evaluation of the fatigue life of complex structures, like...

The energy transition towards carbon neutrality requires a rapid electrification of all energy sectors by 2050. In the EU-27, the REPowerEU strategy, initiated in March 2022, is pursuing this target even more ambitiously. However, in order to achieve the aforementioned goals, the increasing demand for green hydrogen will...

Simulations of a spar-type floating wind turbine supporting the DTU 10 MW reference turbine under fitted atmospheric conditions are performed. Atmospheric conditions are modelled using the turbulent models recommended by the IEC: the Mann model and the IEC Kaimal and exponential coherence model. Model parameters are fitted to measurements at the...

The fatigue strength of the pin connection is assessed in the research project presented in this thesis. The fatigue strength is quantied by an estimated fatigue lifetime, which is the expected time to failure of the most critical point in the connection. The lifetime is estimated based on the yearly accumulated fatigue damage. A computer model...

In the simulation of floating wind turbines, a traditional rigid floater assumption becomes less valid while pursuing large size floating wind turbines with steel-efficient floaters. Up to date, hull flexibility still cannot be efficiently incorporated into aero-servo-elastic-hydro simulation tools, and the possible influence of hull flexibility...

Fixed support structures for offshore wind turbines are commonly used for shallow water (till 45 meters). In many countries shallow-waters are rare. Floating support structures may be the solution for these areas. Many concepts have been developed but three concepts have been analyzed (spar, semi-submergible and the tension leg platform (TLP))...
