Optimization of monopiles for offshore wind turbines.
The offshore wind industry currently relies on subsidy schemes to be competitive with fossil-fuel-based energy sources. For the wind industry to survive, it is vital that costs are significantly reduced for future projects. This can be partly achieved by introducing new technologies and partly through optimization of existing technologies and design methods. One of the areas where costs can be ...
متن کاملNew Guideline for offshore wind turbines
The offshore wind energy market is developing fast. Turbines, substations and offshore sites are increasing in size and they are in more challenging environments. Therefore, the industry requires vigilance in maintaining standards to keep pace with technology developments, enabling safe deployment and long term operation. Certification of wind farms, wind turbines and their components is state-...
متن کاملA Wall Climbing Robot for Inspection Use
A wall climbing robot using propulsive force of propeller has been developed for wall inspection use. Thrust force is inclined to wall side to make use of frictional force between wheels and wall surface, and the robot can move on a vertical wall safely. A long body with many wheels is considered to move on an irregular wall surface. A strong and turbulent wind is predicted on a wall of high ri...
متن کاملROMA: A Climbing Robot for Inspection Operations
Inspection work, often, involves a high number of dangerous manual operations especially in large industrial environments such as shipbuilding and construction. A considerable part of these operations are carried out in harsh hazardous environment~, often formed by metallic structures. The last decade has seen an increasing interest in developing and employing special robots in construction in ...
متن کاملDesign of support structures for offshore wind turbines
Offshore wind is the logical next step in the development of wind energy. With higher wind speeds offshore and the fact that turbines can be placed out of sight, offshore wind helps increase the amount of renewable energy signifi cantly. Offshore wind has been developed through pilot projects in the 1990s and has seen commercial development over the last decade. This chapter shows the developme...
