Abstract
Offshore and near-shore wind energy is one of the major renewable energy resources, which already make a substantial contribution to the energy supply in Europe. Nevertheless, development is still in the start-up phase, with new projects being planned and implemented continuously. [...]Abstract
This work introduces an innovative Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) solution for offshore wind platforms, featuring an advanced Digital Twin (DT) built on a fully-coupled aero-servo-hydro-elastic model. Our approach utilizes a detailed Finite Element model of the structure, meeting [...]
Abstract
Energy production based on fossil fuel reserves is largely responsible for carbon emissions, and hence global warming. The planet needs concerted action to reduce fossil fuel usage and to implement carbon mitigation measures. Ocean energy has huge potential, but there are major interdisciplinary [...]
