A Subgrid‐Scale Parameterization of Wave‐Structure Interactions for Spectral Wave Models: Idealized Simulations in Offshore Wind Farm Conditions

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
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 ...

A Quality‐Driven Framework for Local Fatigue‐Strength Assessment of Wind–Energy Structures Considering Size Effects

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliability, safety, and the lifetime of wind energy systems are mainly driven by the quality of each single component. Especially, large structures made of cast material or welded structures, such as the nacelle, the machine carrier, or the tower, are subjected to cyclic loading.

A Comprehensive Review of Potential Locations, Foundation Design, and Seismic Considerations for Installation of Offshore Wind Farms in Türkiye

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Offshore wind power offers a promising solution to Türkiye's energy and climate challenges, with its extensive coastline and strategic location providing significant potential for development between 2035 and 2053. While no OWTs are currently installed, designated development zones in the Sea of Marmara mark the initial steps toward increasing ...

Risk Assessment of Survivability and Capacity Loss for Offshore Wind Farms Under Uncertain Typhoon Disaster Chain

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
By leveraging typhoon forecast data, this study explicitly maps the uncertainties of the typhoon disaster chain and track predictions to the survivability and capacity loss (SaCL) of offshore wind farms for the first time. Case studies reveal that potential capacity loss under extreme tail‐risk scenarios can reach five times the expected average level (

An Oceanography‐Based Anticipatory Approach to Monitoring Fisheries and Fishery Resource Impacts From Offshore Wind Farms: A Perspective From the Mid‐Atlantic Bight, USA

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 5-21, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) of the eastern US differs from other offshore wind (OSW) development sites due to a unique seasonal oceanographic stratification regime. Fisheries there target migratory finfish and sedentary shellfish, the productivity and distribution of which are driven by oceanography with dynamic mesoscale features that can

Real‐Time Parameters Back Analysis for High‐Fidelity Modeling of Wind Turbine Foundations

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The strong time‐varying nature of wind loads presents a major challenge for real‐time risk management of wind turbine foundations. To address this, an Animated Oat Optimization (AOO)‐LightGBM‐Abaqus method was proposed for real‐time modeling of a wind turbine foundation under dynamic wind loading.

A Structured Techno‐Economic and Socio‐Regulatory Comparison of Onshore, Fixed‐Bottom Offshore, and Floating Offshore Wind Energy Systems

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Onshore, fixed‐bottom offshore, and floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) represent distinct technological pathways for large‐scale wind energy deployment, yet comparative assessments often emphasize descriptive characteristics rather than quantified performance trade‐offs.

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

Structural 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.
