The basic concept of offshore installations is close to that of onshore turbines, although some new offshore systems utilize permanent magnets in place of a gearbox. The more uniform wind speeds on the sea not only offer greater wind resources but also cause lower turbulence, increasing the lif...
As a matter of fact, in the event of initiating mechanical damage, top and bottom skins of a wind blade should hold together as long as possible to allow enough time for maintenance to take place. We suggest an innovative concept that is a two-step strategy which consists first in ...
Since the first offshore wind turbines in Denmark in 1991, over 15,500 turbines have been installed worldwide. Technological advancements have led to more than 290 different turbine models, with capacity increasing from 3.6 MW in 2010 to 7.8 MW in 2020. Our Global Offshore Wind Turbine Databa...
The installation phase is a critical stage during the lifecycle of an offshore wind turbine. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the technical aspects of offshore wind turbine installation. An overview is first presented introducing the classification of offshore wind turbines, install...

An analytical approach and numerical solution to determine coupled aeroelastic and hydroelastic response of floating offshore wind turbines of arbitrary sh
The letters note that an ocean grid will be able to deliver power from multiple wind farms, reducing the number of cables in the seabed and shoreline crossings, providing savings, and minimizing environmental and community impacts. The letters call on Massachusetts to work with other New E...
This chapter aims to address life cycle management and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of floating offshore wind farms from a probabilistic point of view. Understanding and addressing the uncertainty associated with the main parameters that influence
Floating offshore wind turbine technology has seen an increasing and continuous development in recent years. When designing the floating platforms, both experimental and numerical tools are applied, with the latter often using time-domain solvers based on hydro-load estimation from a Morison approach ...
