Surrogate‐Accelerated Optimization of Virtual High‐Mass ATMD for Multifrequency Vibration Control in 15‐MW Wind Turbines

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The upscaling of wind turbines to ultra‐large capacities, such as 15 MW, introduces important structural control challenges because the tower natural frequency may interact with the dominant blade‐passing (3P) frequency, reducing the effectiveness of conventional passive tuned mass dampers (TMDs) under detuned operating conditions.

Optimization of monopile offshore wind structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
ABSTRACT: As industrialization is essential for large-scale offshore wind deployment, a computerized methodology to optimize the scantling of monopile steel structures has been developed using a genetic alg rithm. The objective functions of this tool are minimization of the structure weight and production costs.

State‐of‐the‐Art Review of Vibration‐Based Health Monitoring of Piles

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibration‐based health monitoring (VHM) has emerged as a promising technique for assessing the integrity of deep foundations by interpreting variations in dynamic response governed by soil–pile interaction. This review presents the theoretical background of foundation failure mechanisms, sensing technologies, and numerical approaches that underpin VHM ...

Seismic Response Mechanism and Soil–Structure Interaction of Monopile Offshore Wind Turbines Under Flat and Near‐Sloping Seabed Scenarios

open access: yesShock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Monopile foundations are widely used in fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines (OWTs), and their seismic response is strongly affected by pile–soil–structure interaction. Most existing studies have focused on OWTs located on flat and idealized seabeds, whereas the influence of near‐slope seabed topography has received relatively limited experimental ...

Fatigue Damage Characteristics of Offshore Wind Power Large-Diameter Monopile Structures During Driving Process

open access: yes南方能源建设
[Objective] Large-diameter monopile foundations are widely used in marine engineering in China and are typically installed through penetration. Due to the impact of the pile hammer, the pile body experiences continuous impact loads during the driving ...

Modal Identification Method of Offshore Wind Turbine Tower Based on SSI and FSDPC

open access: yesShock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The structural health monitoring of offshore wind turbine towers is critical for ensuring their operational integrity. The condition of the tower structure is characterized by its modal parameters, which serve as effective health indicators. These parameters are identified through modal identification techniques.

Soil Interaction and Grout Behavior for the NREL Reference Monopile Offshore Wind Turbine

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Monopiles for offshore wind are the most used foundations by farm operators due to their low production costs, when compared to other bottom-fixed or floating foundations.

Divergent Patterns in Wind Power Project Cost Overruns: How Scale Matters and Determinants of Construction Risk

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes cost overruns in 80 wind power projects, focusing on the impact of configuration types and their interaction effects with other project characteristics. Using multiple regression analyses, including interaction terms and segmented regression, we investigate four key aspects of cost overruns in wind power projects. First, we

Dynamic Performance of Advanced Composite Towers in Offshore Wind Farms: Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Conventional steel towers face challenges such as insufficient stiffness and structural instability, making them increasingly unsuitable for supporting large multi‐megawatt wind turbines. This study investigates the dynamic performance of concrete‐filled double‐skin steel tubular (CFDST) wind turbine towers as a novel structural member ...
