This paper presents a newly developed aero-servo-elastic platform for implementing smart rotor control and shows its effectiveness with aerodynamic loads on large-scale offshore wind turbines. The platform was built by improving the FAST/Aerodyn codes with the integration of an external deformable trailing edge flap controller in the Matlab/Simulink software. Smart rotor control was applied to ...

Abstract The structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection of offshore platforms, one the most common marine structures operating in a hostile environment, have gained global attention recent years. This paper presents review vibration-based identification methods used for SHM platforms. application progress these are discussed some case studies analyzed. challenges future work summar...

This study reports temporal variations in the environmental conditions and the structure of fish assemblages observed in the vicinity of an offshore oil platform and the surrounding seafloor in the North Sea. Multi-seasonal sampling was conducted at a typical large steel jacketed facility, using mid-water fish traps at three different depths (i.e., 10, 50 & 100 m). Commercially important gadoid...
