Rojas Castro, Ivan (author)Floating offshore wind energy is being widely implemented in deep-water sites thanks to its numerous advantages, which among others include the access to stronger and undisturbed wind resources. In addition, considering the fast-paced growth in size and power generating capacity of offshore wind turbines, the designs of floating foundations need...master thesis 2017

Manzoor, Qasim (author)The Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method is a widely used model for rotor performance and aeroelastic calculations but it has assumptions in its formulation which limit its accuracy. The theoretical background of these limitations has been studied and an improvement in the form of the Near Wake Model (NWM) has been identified. The model adds near...master thesis 2017

Marchena, C.J. (author)This research aims to investigate the validity of the standard power curve (i.e. measured power curve M-PC) in non-standard wind conditions and the integration of those results into recommended practices for future warranty negotiations. The Power Performance Testing (PPT) is carried out on a ABC1 with rotor diameter between 105-110m and rated...master thesis 2017

Villanueva Lopez, H.M. (author)Power curves are a fundamental element of any wind resource assessment. These are required to estimate how much energy a wind turbine will convert. The theoretical power curves are validated with measurements in test sites, however they may not be fully applicable in different wind climates as they are dependent on the site where, and the...master thesis 2014
