Rapis, Pantelis (author)The monopile is the prevailing foundation concept applied in offshore wind farms, mainly due to construction of offshore wind farms in relatively shallow water. The monopile can provide a technically and financially feasible solution in shallow water environment due to its’ ability to support the wind generator ensuring at the same time the...master thesis 2017

Raghavan, Vaibhav (author)The Offshore wind industry is constantly expanding and one of the key cost drivers is the offshore wind turbine support structure. The foundation accounts for up to 35 % of the total installation cost of the wind turbine. The monopile foundations are the most commonly used support structure with diameters up to 6m and Embedded length/depth (L/D)...master thesis 2017

Luo, J. (author)The objective of this thesis is to develop a numerical model, which could be used to predict the deflections and stresses in the flexible risers during one operation cycle. The numerical model of the flexible risers is mainly developed based on Timoshenko Beam Theory and Discrete Element Method. The internal slurry flow is simulated as plug flow...master thesis 2015
