In situ mortality experiments with juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in relation to impulsive sound levels caused by pile driving of windmill foundations [PDF]
, 2014 Impact assessments of offshore wind farm installations and operations on the marine fauna are performed in many countries. Yet, only limited quantitative data on the physiological impact of impulsive sounds on (juvenile) fishes during pile driving of ...

A comparative study of multiple-criteria decision-making methods under stochastic inputs [PDF]
, 2016 This paper presents an application and extension of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods to account for stochastic input variables. More in particular, a comparative study is carried out among well-known and widely-applied methods in MCDM ...

Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and wind farms: a case study in the Dutch North Sea [PDF]
, 2011 The rapid increase in development of offshore wind energy in European waters has raised concern for the possible environmental impacts of wind farms. We studied whether harbour porpoise occurrence has been affected by the presence of the Dutch offshore ...

Analysing the Influential Parameters on the Monopile Foundation of an Offshore Wind Turbine [PDF]
Computation, 2021 Countries around the world generate electricity from renewable resources to decarbonise their societies and reduce global warming. Some countries have already outlined their wishes to produce a part of their total energy consumption from renewable sources in the coming years and gradually reduce the use of nuclear energy and fossil fuel in favour of ...

Fatigue Assessment of Monopile Supported Offshore Wind Turbine under Non-Gaussian Wind Field
Shock and Vibration, 2021 The vibration of offshore wind turbines caused by external loads is significant, which will cause fatigue damage to offshore wind turbines. Wind load is the main load during the operation period of the wind turbine, and available studies have shown that ...

Monopiles subjected to uni- and multi-lateral cyclic loading [PDF]
, 2017 Offshore wind turbines are subjected to significant environmental loads from a combination of current, wind and wave action. Under such conditions, the directions of these environmental loads vary over the service life of the structure and therefore the ...

Wind Energy, 2021 The design of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) founded on a monopile foundation is principally based on dimensioning criteria related to its fundamental frequencies. These frequencies must remain outside the excitation frequencies to avoid resonance.

Stability of scour protection due to earthquake-induced liquefaction:centrifuge modelling [PDF]
, 2017 A key aspect of permanent offshore structures is protection against scour. This is typically in the form of a blanket of coarse gravel or cobbles surrounding the structure.

Scour prediction and scour protections in offshore wind farms [PDF]
, 2013 This paper is the result of research whose main objective is to analyse different methods used for the prediction of maximum scour depth and scour extension, and for the design of scour protections in offshore wind farms located in shallow water, using
