Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas applications for wind energy purposes

The installed offshore wind energy capacity in Europe has been increasing rapidly over the past years, this trend is expected to continue thanks to the European green deal. In order to meet the future energy demand, new wind energy solutions such as increasing wind turbine size but also floating structures are being developed. This means that...

Evaluation of the Fatigue Resistance of Offshore Jacket Joints by Numerical Approaches

Jacket support structures are a preferred solution for offshore wind turbines in deeper waters. Extensive knowledge exists in relation to its construction technique as well as its crucial components, but due to considerable cost pressure, continued optimization is essential for the future competitiveness of the concept in the offshore wind...
