Huinink, Cis (author)Offshore wind electricity generation will play a key role in the transition to a sustainable energy sector. In 2020, the European Commission presented their Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy which includes 300 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050 (European Commission, 2020). This research focusses on the steel mass development of OWT structural...master thesis 2021

Markolefas, Panagiotis (author)The preliminary design of wind turbine support structures within an offshore wind farm plays a significant role in decreasing the costs involved and is pivotal in establishing the wind sector as a leading contributor towards a sustainable future. During the early design stages, the optimization of structural dimensions, which involves a large...master thesis 2020

Broersen, Tijn (author)The number of offshore wind farms is growing rapidly, which increases the likelihood of ship collisions with offshore wind turbines. Additionally, the cost of energy reduction for wind turbines is achieved due to radical design optimizations. Therefore, simple methods should be obtained to determine the offshore wind turbine response during ship...master thesis 2020

Feys, Andreas (author)This thesis presents the potential of solar energy to answer the increasing demand for sustainable energy. Multiple floating solar parks are installed on inland water bodies. This trend is a result of the lack of surface for PV systems and a result of legislation on national and international governmental levels, for the reduction of greenhouse...master thesis 2020

van Wingerden, Wouter (author)Contrary to a one-off jacket installation where a contractor can wait for favourable weather conditions, the installation of support structures for offshore wind turbines is of repetitive nature. This repetitive nature leads to a need for a better understanding of the behaviour during installation of various jacket geometries. This need brings...master thesis 2019
