Research on the Effect of a Heave Plate on the Dynamics of the Floating Wind Turbine Using Model Tests

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The increasing demand to harness offshore wind resources has pushed offshore wind turbines into deeper waters, making floating platforms more economically feasible than bottom-fixed ones.

From wells to windmills: Resource redeployment and new technology investment in the energy sector

Strategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 616-642, February 2026.
Abstract Research Summary This study examines how multi‐business firms redeploy resources following an industry shock. Using the case of oil and gas firms diversified into wind power, I show that firms reduced expenditure in oil and gas—particularly on complex offshore projects—while increasing investment in wind after the 2014 oil price crash.

Using 3DVAR data assimilation to measure offshore wind energy potential at different turbine heights in the West Mediterranean [PDF]

, 2017
In this article, offshore wind energy potential is measured around the Iberian Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands using the WRF meteorological model without 3DVAR data assimilation (the N simulation) and with 3DVAR data assimilation (the D ...

A Chebyshev Polynomial‐Based Wind Speed Profile Characterization Framework: Applications in Mesoscale Model Evaluation

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a polynomial‐based wind speed profile characterization framework that approximates full vertical profiles using five physically meaningful Chebyshev polynomial coefficients. The framework captures key morphological features of wind profiles, including mean wind speed, vertical shear, curvature, inflection‐related behavior ...

Passive Vibration Control of a Semi-Submersible Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

Applied Sciences, 2017
Floating offshore wind turbines have the potential to commercially convert the vast wind resource in deep-water area. Compared with fixed-bottom wind turbines, motions of the floating foundation complicate vibrations and loads of the wind turbine in ...

Idealized Offshore Low‐Level Jets for Turbine Structural Impact Considerations

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Low‐level jets (LLJs) describe conditions in which the wind speed reaches a local maximum with respect to altitude near the surface; they have been observed intermittently in the US mid‐Atlantic offshore environment. LLJs pose unique operating conditions for future wind turbines operating in the region, such as negative shear and locally ...

Spoke Dimension on the Motion Performance of a Floating Wind Turbine with Tension-Leg Platform

Shock and Vibration, 2016
The tension-leg platform (TLP) supporting structure is a good choice for floating offshore wind turbines because TLP has superior motion dynamics. This study investigates the effects of TLP spoke dimensions on the motion of a floating offshore wind ...

Wind Tunnel Wake Measurements of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract This paper reports the results of a wake measurement campaign carried out at Politecnico di Milano wind tunnel to support current studies of the authors about unsteady aerodynamics of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) as well as evaluating experimental evidence for wind farm applications of FOWT. The wind turbine scale model adopted for
