Li, M. (author), Bijvoet, Bas (author), Wu, Kangjie (author), Jiang, X. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Offshore wind energy is expected to be the most significant source of future electricity supply in Europe. Offshore wind farms are located far from the shores, requiring a fleet of various types of vessels to access sites when maintaining offshore wind turbines. The employment of the vessels is costly, accounting for the majority of the total...journal article 2024

Borsotti, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Jiang, X. (author)Offshore wind farms are a promising source of renewable energy, but they face significant challenges in terms of operation and maintenance (O&M). Traditional scheduling models often overlook the potential of condition-based maintenance (CBM). Addressing this gap, this paper introduces a novel framework, incorporating principles of Model...conference paper 2024

Rouwé, Machteld (author)Offshore wind energy can play a key role in the energy transition. Reducing installation costs for offshore wind installation projects helps to be cost-competitive with other renewable energy technologies. Installation costs can increase when the installation project planning is delayed. Literature shows that offshore wind installation projects...master thesis 2023

Klootwijk, Bart (author)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) unlock the potential to harness energy from wind in deeper waters. Despite their potential, the major obstacle to large-scale commercial deployment remains the floating substructure's high cost. Multidisciplinary design, analysis and optimisation techniques are commonly employed to improve their cost...master thesis 2023

Speksnijder, Andreas (author)An important trend exhibited by the offshore wind market is the increase in the size of wind turbines, leading to longer and stiffer monopiles with larger diameter-to-thickness ratios. Current transport analysis is focused on loads resulting from hydrodynamic accelerations, without taking loads into account resulting from differences in bending...master thesis 2023

Schipper, Jurrien (author)Modelling of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is challenging due to the strong coupling between the aerodynamics of the turbine and the hydrodynamics of the floating structure, which makes the dynamic response of the whole system highly complex. A variety of numerical approaches can be used to predict this response.<br/><br/>The frequency...master thesis 2023

van Delzen, Timo (author)Offshore bidding zones will eventually result in lower revenues for offshore wind farm owners due to a lower electricity volume and price risk, especially when flow-based market coupling and advanced hybrid coupling are implemented in the electricity system. This results in a demand to improve the investment climate for offshore wind farm owners...master thesis 2023

Tijdeman, Dimitri (author), Stevens, Jan (author), Teuber, Lukas (author), Lonissen, Mark (author), Roeders, Niels (author), Lip, Robbert (author)This paper investigates the technical, life cycle, and economic feasibility of a 30 MW upscaled downwind turbine, comparing it to a 15 MW X1 Wind PivotBuoy downwind turbine and a benchmark 15 MW IEA Umaine VolturnUS-S upwind turbine in the 450 MW Sud de la Bretagne I wind farm site. The study is significant due to the rising energy demand, the...student report 2023
