VSC HVDC will be the most important approach for transmitting the power of large-scale offshore wind power plant in the near future. In recent literature, the feasibility of using hybrid type HVDC for offshore wind transmission has been discussed. A hybrid HVDC system has at one line commutated converter (LCC) at mainland and one voltage source converter (VSC) at offshore platform, which may in...

This paper presents a detailed structural reliability procedure in order to achieve an acceptable safety margin for template type offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. Probability of failure in this study is calculated by considering the cumulative effects of all levels of wave loading during the lifetime of the structure and uncertainties associated with soil, material properties, co...

Offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures are subjected to non-proportional environmental wind and wave load patterns with respect to increases in wave height and with respect to wind and wave combined loading. Traditional approaches to estimating the ultimate capacity of offshore support structures are not ideally suited to analysis of OWTs. In this paper, the concept of incremental wind-...

Due to the efficiency in implementation, the Walsh (Hadamard) transform plays an important role in signal analysis and communication. Recently, Lee generalized the Walsh transform into the Jacket transform. Since the entries of the Jacket transform can be ±2, it is more flexible than the Walsh transform. Both the Walsh transform and the Jacket transform are defined for the case where the length...

As basements of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in deep water (>50 m), jacket structures are an economic alternative to monopiles. For this reason, the structural durability jackets has become more important. In such structures, welded tubular joints weak points for fatigue design. The harmful effect tensile residual stresses welding is well known. these reasons, and loading were determined by...
