Koetzier, Daan (author)Floating offshore wind turbines offer a means to access wind resources in waters that are too deep for bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines. To operate a floating wind farm, it must be possible to perform maintenance on the turbines. A critical maintenance aspect is the exchange of a major component such as a blade. It involves a lift of a large...master thesis 2023

Caruso, Mateo (author)Over the last decades, wind turbine blades have continuously grown in size to harvest further power from the wind. Longer blades have an increased structural mass and thus suffer from increased gravitational and inertial loads. Current developments in the field of wind turbine blade design strive for lightweight, high-bending stiffness, yet cost...master thesis 2023

KALIMERIS, THEODORE (author)In recent years, the interest in deep-water wind energy projects has drastically increased, driven by the considerable wind resource in deep-water locations. In such locations, floating wind turbines are more economically attractive than bottom-fixed wind turbines. Nevertheless, the floating wind industry faces numerous challenges. One major...master thesis 2023

Wolfs, Céline (author)The ongoing global energy transition has led to significant growth in the offshore wind sector. This growth has resulted in a high demand for offshore installation vessels like the 'Aeolus', and the need to push up their limits to meet the rapidly changing market. In the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind project, the Aeolus had to be installed on a...master thesis 2023

Janoff, Philipp (author)Leading edge roughness is an important challenge for the wind energy industry as blades are permanently exposed to the damaging impacts of the environment. The contamination due to impact of insects, ice accretion and dust; as well as the erosion of the blade due to rain, debris and abrasive airborne particles increase roughness upon the surface...master thesis 2023

Veršnik, Ana (author)The success of offshore wind farm installations is often related to the costs and time taken to be completed. Current installation strategies require several critical offshore lifts for the completion of a single wind turbine, as in most cases each component gets installed separately. This is time-consuming and has a direct link to the cost of...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

Castellino, Francesco (author)One of the main cost drivers of an offshore wind power plant are the support structures of the wind turbines, it is therefore of primary importance to optimize their design. Among the support structures available, the concept most widely adopted is the monopile-based support structure, whose design is often fatigue-driven. Offshore structures...master thesis 2022

Kashyap, Pramod (author)Measurement campaigns and CFD simulations have recently identified a large-scale flow phenomenon called wind-farm flow blockage. This is found to bear a significant and far-reaching reduction in wind speed upstream of a wind farm. The wind farm blockage is attributed to the cumulative induction effects of multiple wind turbines placed in series....master thesis 2022
