The impact of atmospheric stability on the global blockage effect of offshore wind farms

This thesis research is set up to increase the knowledge on the influence of atmospheric stability on the Global Blockage Effect (GBE) of offshore wind farm flows, thereby aiming to improve the accuracy of energy yield calculations and predictions of offshore wind farms.

Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas applications for wind energy purposes

The installed offshore wind energy capacity in Europe has been increasing rapidly over the past years, this trend is expected to continue thanks to the European green deal. In order to meet the future energy demand, new wind energy solutions such as increasing wind turbine size but also floating structures are being developed. This means that...
