de Korte, kasper (author)Wind farms are currently built in the North Sea in the Netherlands. The grid connecting the off-shore wind farm to the main-land distribution grid must be protected against short-circuits and other electrical disturbances. In this project is studied if electrical protection of a grid is suitable for grids connecting renewable energy sources to...master thesis 2019

Pisano, F. (author)The offshore wind sector is skyrocketing worldwide, with a clear trend towards wind farms installed in increasingly deep waters and harsh marine environments. This is posing significant engineering challenges, including those regarding the design of support structures and foundations for offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Substantial research...conference paper 2019

Cirillo, Raffaello (author)Nowadays an increasing number of offshore wind farms (OWF) is getting built. Several disciplines are considered into this subject. The manual and sequential design approach used so far is not sufficient to guarantee optimized systems because interactions between the different components are disregarded. Therefore, engineering companies are...master thesis 2018

Lozada Ayala, Pedro (author)Recent projections estimate that the Netherlands needs circa 33 GW of offshore wind capacity in the North Sea to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. To this end, the Dutch government has very ambitious plans to create new wind sites far from shore and integrate that power generation to the high-voltage power grid in the next years. Due to the...master thesis 2018

Ramirez Gonzalez, Lizet (author)In 2050, the Netherlands’ goal is to have a fully renewable energy mix, mainly composed of solar and wind energy to supply electricity. In this way, the country will meet the environmental targets to reduce the carbon emissions by 90%. The offshore wind installed capacity in the Netherlands was approved to increase to 11.5 GW by 2030. In the...master thesis 2018
