Fatigue poses significant challenges for the structural integrity of monopiles, the most common type of foundation for offshore wind turbines. These structures are usually manufactured by rolling and welding together large steel plates. Offshore wind...
The present research explores the optimization of maintenance strategies for floating offshore wind (FOW) farms using nested genetic algorithms. The primary goal is to provide insights on the decision-making processes required for both immediate and...
Failures in hydraulic systems in offshore wind turbines represent an enormous challenge for manufacturers and operators, as the pitch system statistically is one of the subsystems contributing the most to the downtime of the turbines, which is the ca...
We designed 60% thick airfoil to improve the aerodynamic performance in the root region of wind turbine rotor blades, taking into account current constraints. After an extensive literature review and patent research, a design methodology (including t...
