Large scale wind farms consisting with floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) will be a solution for offshore wind energy industry to access more wind resources. However, wake structures and wake interactions of FOWTs subject to motions are still not yet been fully understand, especially when they are under turbulent inflow conditions with...

The recurred idea of developing multi-rotor wind turbines has led to the need of more accurate surrogate wake models which allow for a fast annual energy production (AEP) calculation and further understanding of the aerodynamic power losses of multi-rotor wind turbines.<br/><br/>The present thesis develops a surrogate wake model of a multi-rotor...

Due to the increased share of (offshore) wind turbines, more stringent power requirements have been established. Importantly, the low-voltage ride-through requirement states that a wind turbine must remain connected to the electrical grid after a short intermittent grid fault. In the industry and academia many solutions have been proposed, but...

The success of offshore wind farm installations is often related to the costs and time taken to be completed. Current installation strategies require several critical offshore lifts for the completion of a single wind turbine, as in most cases each component gets installed separately. This is time-consuming and has a direct link to the cost of...

The amount of floating offshore wind farms under development has drastically increased over the past years as the technology becomes viable for pre-commercial and commercial scale projects. Projects of this size require a streamlined, efficient production of the complete floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), not only for manufacturing the...

Due to the growing demand for offshore wind energy and the increasing wind turbine sizes, a shortage of capable installation vessels is anticipated by 2024. Consequently, the utilisation of heavy-lift vessels, previously not employed for bottom-founded or floating offshore wind turbine installations, may become imperative to realise the offshore...

The increasing focus on sustainable living and the need to reduce dependency on fossil fuels has led to a growing interest in renewable energy sources. Among these, the wind energy sector has not only experienced significant growth in terms of numbers but also in size. Larger turbines lead to more severe leading-edge erosion and further increase...

More and more wind turbines are erecting in the landscape, stemming from the need for sustainable energy. However, less attention is paid to the secondary effects of these wind turbines, more specifically, the wind turbine blades. Wind turbine blades are made of composite material, a material that provides many advantageous properties for the...

With an accelerated inclusion of renewable energy generators in the power system, the inertia support traditionally provided by conventionally powered synchronous generators is lagging, and power system stability is reducing. This grid-supporting behavior will now have to be provided by the power converters of renewable energy sources with the...

Energy transition is imperative to effectively address the pressing issue of climate change resulting from global warming. In this transition, offshore wind power assumes a pivotal role as a crucial and indispensable source of clean and renewable energy. Offshore benefits become more pronounced as the offshore locations progress far offshore. In...

In light of the energy transition to a fossil-free energy system, Europe is experiencing a colossal shift toward renewable energy generation. To facilitate the rapidly growing demand for clean energy, new technologies, and resources are being investigated. Airborne wind energy (AWE) and floating wind turbines have the potential to unlock...

Previous research into floating offshore wind turbines consistently shows some manner of discrepancy between numerical and experimental simulations when it comes to low frequency forces and motions. A part of solving this issue is the generation of accurate data for the calibration and validation of the numerical models, needed because of the...

The increased consciousness of the negative impact of human-induced climate change has resulted in rapid developments within the offshore wind industry. With Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) becoming increasingly larger and available shallow water sites becoming scarcer, new offshore wind solutions must be developed to accomplish the goals set by...

In this paper, the feasibility of using far-field acoustic measurements as a non-contact monitoring technique for wind turbine blade leading edge erosion is assessed. For this purpose, a DU96 W180 airfoil with several eroded leading edge configurations of different severities is experimentally investigated. The eroded leading edges are designed...

Offshore wind energy is poised for significant growth, with three major trends emerging: larger wind turbines, offshore wind farm sites in deeper waters further from the coast, and a shift towards floating offshore wind energy. While current floating wind turbines are installed using a tow-to-site strategy, the increasing size of turbines and...

The goal of this thesis project was to explore how material originating from thermoplastic composite wind turbine blades (TPC WTB) can be reshaped. The insights gained during exploratory activities were used to design a re-use application. The demonstrator model should inspire people to develop other applications and build upon the foundations...

The development of offshore wind energy, especially the steps towards deep water and/or higher density wind farms, revives the prospects of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). Because VAWTs may reduce the cost of floating structures, there is a potential to lower energy costs. However, VAWTs are often assumed to be less efficient and less...

Floating offshore wind turbines offer opportunities to harvest wind energy at deep-water locations, where the construction of fixed-base turbines is infeasible. The dynamic power cables, which interconnect turbines and transport the generated electricity, are under large dynamic stresses due to the environmental loads and the motion of the...

Two-bladed offshore wind turbines regained interest in finding the most profitable way of generating wind energy. Wind industry companies demand the safe operation of two-bladed offshore wind turbines. To guarantee safe operation, the companies perform operational modal analyses to investigate modal properties variation which might be allocated...

Offshore wind is a rapidly maturing renewable energy technology and is expected to play a central role in future energy systems. It has the potential to generate more than 420,000 TWh per year worldwide, an amount approximately equal to eighteen times the global electricity demand today. While many of the most abundantly resourceful sites are at...
