Structural Health Monitoring in Jacket‐Type Offshore Wind Turbines Through Generative Adversarial Networks: An Experimental Proof of Concept

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Early detection of damage in critical infrastructure, such as offshore wind turbines, enables predictive maintenance strategies that improve safety, reliability, and cost effectiveness. This work presents an experimental proof of concept for a damage detection approach for jacket‐type supports in offshore wind turbines.

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

Shock 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 ...

A Safety‐Aware Framework for Offshore Wind Turbine Maintenance

Wind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we suggest a framework for determining the best operation and maintenance strategies for offshore wind turbines. The framework takes into account both quantitative and qualitative data gathered from the wind turbines. The proposed framework consists of a simulation‐optimization approach for designing, planning, and scheduling ...

Least‐Squares Projected Models for Non‐Intrusive Affinization of Reduced Basis Methods

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 18, 30 September 2025.
ABSTRACT Reduced‐basis methods (RBMs) constitute a promising technique for delivering numerical solutions of parameterized PDEs in real time and with reasonable accuracy. The most significant drawback of RBMs is the requirement of parametric affinity, a condition that only very trivial problems satisfy.

Multiple TLDs on Motion Reduction Control of the Offshore Wind Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
This study explores the damping effects of tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) on a monopile offshore wind turbine (OWT). The fluid–solid coupling of ANSYS was used to simulate the damping effect of a TLD on the structures.

Submerged Arc Welding of S355G10+M Steel: Analyzing Strength, Distortion, Residual Stresses, and Fatigue for Offshore Wind Applications

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 3859-3878, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This research delves into the material performance of submerged arc‐welded S355G10 +M structural steel for offshore wind turbines, with an emphasis on strength, ductility, hardness, distortion, residual stress, and fatigue. This was done by conducting experiments and employing modeling tools combined with image analysis.

Effect of gap size on flange face corrosion

Materials and Corrosion, Volume 76, Issue 6, Page 833-850, June 2025.
This study investigates the effect of gap size on the flange face corrosion behavior in bolted flanged joints of wind turbine towers exposed to challenging offshore conditions. Using electrochemical techniques, it finds that increasing the gap thickness accelerates the general corrosion rate and delays crevice corrosion initiation.

Structural Optimization and Comparison Study of Different Configurations of Offshore Wind Turbine Jacket Substructures

Wind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT In this work, the design of a three‐legged jacket is presented, taking into account the susceptibility to the directionality of the loads in comparison with a four‐legged jacket. For this purpose, two jackets with different orientations with respect to the incoming environmental loads were modelled: the G30, which has two legs facing the main ...

Scenario-based LCA for assessing the future environmental impacts of wind offshore energy: An exemplary analysis for a 9.5-MW wind turbine in Germany

Energy, Sustainability and Society
Background Offshore wind energy (OWE) will play a significant role in achieving climate neutrality. For example, several scenarios for Germany (e.g., Kopernikus base, Kopernikus 1.5 degree, Prognos CN65, and CN60) depict substantial OWE annual installed ...
