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

Douma, Laurens Jan (author)The replacement of conventional generation units with variable renewable energy sources could have a negative impact on the balance of supply and demand of electricity. Moreover, since the variable renewable energy sources are inverter based and therefore decoupled from the grid, the overall grid inertia will decrease. To solve this problem, the...master thesis 2023

van der Bend, Marius (author)During single-blade offshore wind turbine (OWT) installation, wind disturbance results in blade root motion. The sensitivity to this wind disturbance is more significant for larger blades, reducing the allowable installation weather limit. A potential solution is a Hook Mounted Compensator (HMC) between the crane and the load that can provide...master thesis 2023

Spijkerman, Danny (author)Due to the increased share of (offshore) wind turbines, more stringent power requirements have been established. Importantly, the low-voltage ride-through requirement states that a wind turbine must remain connected to the electrical grid after a short intermittent grid fault. In the industry and academia many solutions have been proposed, but...master thesis 2023
