Bussemakers, Matthijs (author)Climate change, as a result from global warming, requires an energy transition: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and a radical innovation of the global energy system to proceed apace. Offshore wind is an important source of clean, renewable energy, and it plays a key role in the transition. 80% of the worldwide...master thesis 2020

Kementzetzidis, Evangelos (author)In recent years, offshore wind is becoming an increasingly growing market in Europe. Many resources are allocated towards ensuring its sustainable progress while one of the biggest uncertainties encountered lays in the offshore wind turbine's (OWT) foundations. In Europe, monopiles are the most widely adopted solution to found such structures in...master thesis 2017

Pisano, F. (author), Corciulo, S. (author), Zanoli, Omar (author)The increasing relevance of offshore wind in the energy mix motivates continual research efforts for the optimisation of foundation systems. Currently, monopiles are still the most common foundations for offshore wind turbines (OWTs), due to their simplicity and the low costs for production/assembly. However, the modern trends towards larger...conference paper 2017

Svendsen, K.F. (author)There is an increasing interest in using offshore wind turbines in deeper waters. The tension leg platform wind turbine (TLPWT) is seen as a promising concept for this. Low production costs and limited motions give the TLPWT concept both economic and dynamic advantages. Previous studies regarding dynamic analysis of offshore floating wind...master thesis 2016
