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

Fox, Feline (author)As offshore wind turbines are moving further from the coast, floating wind turbines are being considered. These structures need to be able to endure high dynamic loads while remaining as still as possible in order to minimize internal stresses and maximize the efficiency of the turbine. To find ways to combat large responses, the effectiveness...master thesis 2023
