An investigation into the effect of scour on the natural frequency of an offshore wind turbine [PDF]
Rapid expansion of the offshore wind industry has stimulated a renewed interest in the behaviour of offshore piles. There is widespread acceptance in practice that pile design methods developed for the offshore oil and gas industry may not be appropriate

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

In this paper, we investigate, in the frequency domain, the performance (hydrodynamic behavior and power absorption) of a circular array of four semi-immersed heaving Wave Energy Converters (WECs) around a hybrid wind–wave monopile (circular cylinder ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates the bearing capacity of tension piles and pile‐soil interaction during loading. Discrepancies between predicted and measured bearing capacities in previous tests motivated the study, where analytical methods showed considerable scatter and uncertainties in design.

Idealized Offshore Low‐Level Jets for Turbine Structural Impact Considerations
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 ...

Rate effects for monopile foundations
Monopile pile foundations are the most commonly used support system for offshore wind turbines in Europe. These foundations are subject to lateral loading, which is cyclic in nature, with the loading rate and load eccentricity varying with time. Under extreme conditions, such as the emergency stop of the turbine, yawing or ship impact, transient ...

Abstract Extensive offshore renewable energy installations have raised concerns about their environmental impacts. These concerns highlight the need for high fidelity modeling of conditions within wind‐farm regions, where wave–structure interactions through reflection, diffraction, and dissipation reshape local and regional wave dynamics, thereby ...
