Delavinia, Dimitra (author)New offshore wind farms consisting of monopile-founded Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs) are to be built in earthquake-prone areas. To design the monopile foundation and to accurately define the dynamic response of an OWT, the soil-monopile-superstructure interaction should be modelled properly. Due to the fact that the Three-Dimensional (3D) Finite...master thesis 2022

Huigen, Vincent (author)The offshore wind industry is a quickly growing market because the increasing demand for clean energy sources. Large wind speeds and the abundance of potential wind farm locations make Offshore Wind Turbines an interesting solution. Because of high continuous dynamic loading and extreme environmental conditions, the structural design requires a...master thesis 2021

Markolefas, Panagiotis (author)The preliminary design of wind turbine support structures within an offshore wind farm plays a significant role in decreasing the costs involved and is pivotal in establishing the wind sector as a leading contributor towards a sustainable future. During the early design stages, the optimization of structural dimensions, which involves a large...master thesis 2020

van Hoogstraten, Sara (author)Offshore wind energy is considered a necessary renewable energy resource, that may stimulate the transition from fossil fuels. Following the successful development in Western Europe, offshore wind is quickly gaining momentum in the Asia-Pacific region. At variance with North Sea-based offshore wind turbines, structures installed in the Asia...master thesis 2019
