Seismic response of jack-ups: An improved earthquake screening procedure using time history analysis

Jack-ups are used for offshore wind turbine installation (OWTI). To assess whether a jack-up can safely operate in a desired geographic location with known seismic activity, an earthquake response analysis is required for structural verification. This analysis is generally carried out according to the codes of the International Organization for...

Integration methods for floating offshore wind farms

The amount of floating offshore wind farms under development has drastically increased over the past years as the technology becomes viable for pre-commercial and commercial scale projects. Projects of this size require a streamlined, efficient production of the complete floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), not only for manufacturing the...
