Comparison of S-N Curves from International Fatigue Design Standards for a Better Understanding of the Long-Term Operation of Offshore Wind Turbine Welded Foundations

Federico Della Santa,
Gianluca Zorzi and
Ali Mehmanparast

Wind2024, 4(3), 251-274;https://doi.org/10.3390/wind4030013

21 September 2024

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...

Development and Measurement of a Very Thick Aerodynamic Profile for Wind Turbine Blades

Alois Peter Schaffarczyk,
Brandon Arthur Lobo,
Nicholas Balaresque,
Volker Kremer,
Janick Suhr and
Zhongxia Wang

Wind2024, 4(3), 190-207;https://doi.org/10.3390/wind4030010

12 July 2024

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...
