Cherat, Naajein (author)Fault ride-through capability studies of MMCHVDC connected wind power plants have focused primarily on the DC link and onshore AC grid faults. Offshore AC faults, mainly asymmetrical faults have not gained much attention in the literature despite being included in the future development at national levels in the ENTSO-E HVDC code. The proposed...master thesis 2024

Kingma, Enzo M. (author), ter Hofstede, R. (author), Kardinaal, Edwin (author), Bakker, Rebecca (author), Bittner, Oliver (author), van der Weide, Babeth (author), Coolen, Joop W.P. (author)In the past, a large part of the seabed of the southern North Sea was covered by hard substrates, including oyster beds, coarse peat banks, and glacial erratics. Human activities, particularly bottom trawl fisheries, led to the disappearance of most of these hard substrates, resulting in the loss of its associated diverse benthic life as well...journal article 2024

Berkouwer, Laurens (author)For the installation of suction pile jackets, a new installation method initiated by SPT Offshore could extend the allowable size for suction pile jackets used as foundations for offshore wind turbines. This method involves installing the suction piles separately from the jacket frame. First, the suction piles are installed on the seabed. Then,...master thesis 2023

Ubbens, Martiene (author)Ambitions to limit climate change are incentivizing the expansion of renewable energy. In particular, offshore wind energy is expected to grow rapidly. To harness the full potential of existing as well as prospected offshore wind farms, the limited capacity of the internal cable network of the offshore wind farm, called the collector system,...master thesis 2023

WU, KANGJIE (author)The research on sustainable energy is growing, among which, wind energy catching growing attention and the potential has been supported by more and more countries. Compared with onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms have more advantages including the abundant wind resource at the offshore location and more possible construction areas. While...master thesis 2023

Ubbens, Martiene (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Two optimization-based approaches are proposed to optimize the power routing and turbine setpoints of offshore wind farm (OWF) collector systems during cable outages. The open-loop control strategy assumes that the network can only be reconfigured at the beginning of the outage. In contrast, the receding horizon control strategy is deployed...conference paper 2023

Siderius, Eva (author)In 2050, the entire energy consumption in the Netherlands is foreseen to come from renewable sources. Offshore wind energy has the potential to enable this transition to a CO2-emission-free energy supply. Consequently, the development of offshore wind farms in the Dutch North Sea has been expanding enormously in the last decade. The Dutch...master thesis 2022

Bijvoet, Bas (author)During the lifetime of an offshore wind farm, the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs account for a large portion of the total expenses. This is mainly caused by the high cost of vessels. In order to increase the competitiveness of offshore wind compared to onshore wind and other renewable energy sources, it is essential to decrease the...student report 2022

de Kruijf, Theo (author)Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) have developed into an integral part of the European energy transition in the fight against climate change. The North Sea, with its excellent wind conditions and soil characteristics, as well as ports and industrial energy consumers nearby, has become the epicenter of offshore wind development. The coming years will...master thesis 2021

Brans, Sophia (author)New offshore wind farms are moving farther away from the shore; to locations characterised by adverse weather conditions. This challenges current maintenance strategies because, besides being further from shore, far-offshore wind turbines need more frequent maintenance and must be accessed in rougher weather conditions. Service Operation Vessels...master thesis 2021
