Determination of stress concentration factors in offshore wind welded structures through a hybrid experimental and numerical approach [PDF]
Offshore wind turbine (OWT) monopile support structures generally consist of steel cans connected together through circumferential welding joints. One critical factor to evaluate the localised increase in stresses is the stress concentration factor (SCF)

Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...

Wind Tunnel Assessment of Dynamic Induction Control Under Varying Inflow Wind Directions
ABSTRACT Dynamic induction control (DIC), also known as pulse control, is a wake‐mixing strategy intended to improve wind farm efficiency by mitigating wake‐induced power losses. It typically employs harmonic collective blade pitching to excite wake instabilities, forming coherent pulsing structures that enhance turbulent mixing and accelerate wake ...

Review on Floating Foundation Structures for Offshore Wind Turbines
With the gradual increase of renewable and clean energy demand in China, the development of onshore wind energy tends to be saturated. It is an inevitable trend for wind power to be applied in offshore and deep-sea areas.

ABSTRACT Sustainability transitions, such as electrifying the process industry, require a bundle of related innovations to make meaningful progress. Drawing on literature on innovation through tinkering, that is, adaptive, typically small‐scale experimentation with various forms of innovation, and applying a micropolitical perspective, this qualitative

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

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
AbstractEver increasing population of India demands high production of electrical energy which puts immense pressure on our limited stock of non-renewable resources of energy and makes us dependent over imports from foreign countries. But slowly we are shifting our focus towards renewable resources of energy. The present study focuses on the innovative
