Performance and Reliability of Wind Turbines: A Review

Energies, 2017
Performance (availability and yield) and reliability of wind turbines can make the difference between success and failure of wind farm projects and these factors are vital to decrease the cost of energy. During the last years, several initiatives started

Application of Electrical Resistance Probes for Corrosion Monitoring and Cathodic Protection Assessment of Offshore Structures

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A novel thick‐track electrical resistance probe with five sensing tracks was developed for offshore corrosion monitoring. The probe provides reliable, real‐time corrosion‐rate measurements in natural seawater. Corrosion‐rate trends showed strong agreement with weight‐loss coupon measurements.

Study on Dynamic Response of Offshore Wind Turbine Structure Under Typhoon

Polish Maritime Research, 2022
Floating offshore wind turbines are easily affected by typhoons in the deep sea, which may cause serious damage to their structure. Therefore, it is necessary to study further the dynamic response of wind turbine structures under typhoons.

Interaction Between Vortex‐Induced Vibrations and Base Vibrations in Piezoelectric Harvesters

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present era, powering sensors using green energy is a significant challenge. One promising solution for the power supply of small sensors relies on piezoelectric energy harvesters excited by vortex‐induced vibrations (VIVs) generated by wind.

From laggard to leader: explaining offshore wind developments in the UK [PDF]

, 2013
Offshore wind technology has recently undergone rapid deployment in the UK. And yet, up until recently, the UK was considered a laggard in terms of deploying renewable energy. How can this burst of offshore wind activity be explained?

Engaging the Complexities of Energy Transitions: Sociotechnical and Dualistic Insights From Crossdisciplinary Undergraduates

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Discourses of energy and energy transition have become increasingly prevalent in informal and formal learning spaces. Energy transitions differ across regions, contexts, and technologies. The contextual nature of energy is an opportunity for a sociotechnical approach to its study.

Modelling sea breeze climatologies and interactions on coasts in the southern North Sea: Implications for offshore wind energy [PDF]

, 2015
Current understanding of the behaviour of sea breezes in the offshore environment is limited but rapidly requires improvement due, not least, to the expansion of the offshore wind energy industry.
