MCGF piling vibrations: A numerical assessment of the structural dynamics of a Motion-Compensated Gripper Frame during pile driving of XXL monopiles

The increase of demand for offshore wind energy resulted in an increase of larger wind turbines. These turbines are often placed on top of a monopile (MP) substructure. The conventional method for installing these MPs uses a jack-up vessel. However, due to the local bathymetry and soil conditions. This method has its drawbacks, such as...
