Operations and maintenance of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) play an important role in the
development of offshore wind farms. Compared with operations, maintenance is a critical …

Designing cost-effective inspection and maintenance programmes for wind energy farms is
a complex task involving a high degree of uncertainty due to diversity of assets and their …

Turbine and plant upsizing are major trends in offshore wind deployment, although the
quantitative impact on project costs has not been well-characterized. The uncertain value of …

Access to sustainable clean water is a necessity for any successful civilization. The US-
Mexico border has been experiencing a decline in the availability of this critical resource …

The most common wind turbine is the single–rotor, horizontal axis wind turbine. In order to
reduce the cost of energy, upscaling of single–rotor wind turbines has been a major trend …

Data available from the recent boom in European offshore wind investments contradict
widely held expectations about a decline in costs per kW. Our review shows that scenario …

Diffuser-augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) can significantly increase the performance of
the rotor. Multirotor systems (MRSs) have a lot of merits such as significant saving mass and …

The wake management of offshore wind farms (OWFs) mainly considers the wake effect.
Wake effects commonly occur in offshore wind farms, which cause a 5–10% reduction in …

This paper presents the results of a study on the dynamic and seismic response of the
support structures of three reference Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) of increasing rated …

The wind industry is facing new challenges due to the planned construction of thousands of
offshore wind turbines all around the world. However, with their increasing distance from the …
