Metsch, Youri (author)Previous research into floating offshore wind turbines consistently shows some manner of discrepancy between numerical and experimental simulations when it comes to low frequency forces and motions. A part of solving this issue is the generation of accurate data for the calibration and validation of the numerical models, needed because of the...master thesis 2023

Ilahibaks, Shaneeza (author)In the design of offshore wind turbine generator (WTG) support structures, a large number of environmental parameters are used. The most important ones include the wind climate (wind speed and wind direction probability distributions), the wave climate (wave height and wave direction as well as peak frequencies of the waves, and water levels)...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

Yagüe Martín, Adrian (author)Premature failures in large offshore Wind Turbines are often attributed to bearing failure despite gearboxes being designed and developed using the best bearing design practices. Furthermore, as turbine size and rated power increase, bearings display an enhanced tendency to fail. Unscheduled bearing replacement at sea is a complex, costly,...master thesis 2020

De Groot, K. (author)Trends in the offshore wind market show that newly installed wind farms move towards deeper waters. Wind turbine generators are currently installed using jack-up vessels, which have a limited operating depth. Installation of wind turbines using a floating vessel is an alternative for the current method, but blade installation is an area which is...master thesis 2015

Zaaijer, M.B. (author)To date, the technical feasibility of making electricity from offshore wind energy has been convincingly proven. However, the current challenge is to reduce the costs of this form of energy. One of the aspects playing a role in cost reduction is the optimisation of the wind turbine. The wind turbine influences the costs of various elements of an...doctoral thesis 2013

Van Gerven, F.P.M. (author)In the need for more green energy a prominent role is reserved for wind energy. Offshore wind energy in deeper waters capitalises on more efficient wind properties and increased public acceptance compared to onshore wind energy and wind farms close to shore. In the coming years the offshore wind market is expected to evolve rapidly, especially...master thesis 2011

van der Tempel, J. (author)To meet growing energy demands, the Kyoto protocol and the much desired diversification of supply, wind energy has become a mainstream source of energy in the EU. Cost wise it is already competing with gas fired electricity. In the last decade wind moved offshore to accommodate even more wind power. The offshore wind resource is more abundant...doctoral thesis 2006
