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.

Diameter-dependent analytical p–y curves for response analysis of monopiles in sand

International Journal of Geo-Engineering
Large-diameter monopiles are extensively used to support onshore bridges, port terminals, and offshore wind farms due to their high load-bearing capacity, low settlement and excellent seismic performance.

Preliminary Analysis of the Behaviour of Monopiles for Offshore Wind Turbines Founded on Calcareous Sand Profiles of the Ceará Coast Through Numerical Modelling

Energies
Offshore wind can diversify the Brazilian electricity matrix, but foundation design on the Ceará continental shelf must account for carbonate sands whose stiffness, crushability and stress-dependent response differ from those of quartz sands.

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 ...

Small-displacement behavior of offshore wind power monopiles subjected to static lateral loading

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The centrifuge tests and numerical simulations are carried out to explore the small-displacement behavior of 9 m-diameter offshore wind power large-scale monopiles with various embedment depths. The results show that as the embedment depth increases, the

Model‐Event Joint‐Driven Risk Assessment Method for Wind Turbine Failures in Sandy‐Gobi‐Desert Regions

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study proposes a model–event joint‐driven risk assessment method for wind turbine failures in Sandy‐Gobi‐Desert regions, integrating physical load modelling of wind–sand interactions with event‐based modelling of multi‐process structural degradation.

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
