Suy, Xander (author)Urgent action is needed to decrease maritime emissions. The renewable wind energy sector must also decrease its life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Total GHG emissions from offshore wind turbines are approximately 120% more compared to onshore wind turbines. Moreover, it is estimated that Walk to Work (W2W) vessels are responsible for 3.3...master thesis 2022

Lemij, Freek (author)A rapid increase in global energy demand and the international objective of increasing the contribution of renewable energy to satisfy this demand have spiked the interest in offshore wind energy. Depletion of suitable locations for bottom founded turbines has led to a new chapter in offshore wind development: floating wind farms. This...master thesis 2021

van Wingerden, Wouter (author)Contrary to a one-off jacket installation where a contractor can wait for favourable weather conditions, the installation of support structures for offshore wind turbines is of repetitive nature. This repetitive nature leads to a need for a better understanding of the behaviour during installation of various jacket geometries. This need brings...master thesis 2019

van Didden, Sebastiaan (author)Offshore wind energy is a promising prospect to meet the ever-growing demand for energy. Its reputation is, however, sullied by high costs not yet competitive with conventional energy resources. The Delft Offshore Turbine (DOT) attempts to radically reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of offshore wind by utilising a seawater-hydrostatic...master thesis 2019
