The dynamic behavior of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) must be designed considering stochastic load amplitudes and frequencies from waves mechanical loads associated with the spinning rotor during power production. proximity OWT natural frequency to excitation combined low damping necessitates a thorough analysis sources damping; these damping, least is known about contributions soil-structure i...

The Dutch energy company Eneco received the concession to construct a 116 MW windfarm on Maasvlakte-2, recent large seaward port extension of Port Rotterdam. land reclamation is protected partly by hard sea defence and soft defence, consisting sandy beach adjacent dunes. Twelve wind turbines with monopile foundation will be constructed beach, close or in waterline. erosive maintained regular fo...
