Holsappel, Tim (author)<br/>In response to the escalating demand for renewable energy, wind turbines and their support structures have witnessed exponential growth in size in recent decades. However, this expansion presents substantial challenges, particularly in the face of severe storms and large waves, raising concerns about resonance-related issues. Accurate...master thesis 2024

Liu, Shilu (author)Ocean waves being considered to have huge potential on providing renewable energy resources. While significant research and application of wave energy converters have been conducted in many seas, exploration on low-energy seas is still an ongoing endeavour. In this study, a point absorber array is being studied in the scenario of implementing at...master thesis 2023

van der Kaaij, Isabelle (author)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...master thesis 2023

Bekkers, Tijs (author)Tidal energy has the potential to be an important and necessary addition to the available sources of energy in the coming energy transition. While there is an extensive body of research on the topic of high tidal resource locations, little research exists on low tidal resource locations such as The Netherlands. The thesis aims to reduce this gap...master thesis 2022

Kerckhoffs, Hugo (author)In recent years, the demand for renewable energy has increased significantly because of its lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. As a result, wind power is one of the most important renewable energy sources. As land-based turbines have reached their maximum potential, recent market trends are moving into deeper waters...master thesis 2022
