Reliability analysis of monopile offshore wind turbine support structures
We probe the reliability of monopile support structures designed to support industrial scale turbines along the coastal United States using stochastic models for the wind and wave loadings, and representations of the uncertainty associated with soil properties. The turbine support structure investigated is that promulgated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as typical of a monopile sup...
متن کاملPerformance Levels and Fragility for Offshore Wind Turbine Support Structures during Extreme Events
Successful development of the offshore wind energy resource depends upon the reliability of the structures that support the electricity-generating rotor-nacelle assemblies that form the core of a wind turbine system. The risk posed to offshore wind turbines (OWTs) by extreme environmental events such as Atlantic hurricanes requires a more detailed examination of post-elastic structural performa...
متن کاملOPTIMAL DESIGN OF JACKET SUPPORTING STRUCTURES FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES USING ENHANCED COLLIDING BODIES OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Structural optimization of offshore wind turbine structures has become an important issue in the past years due to the noticeable developments in offshore wind industry. However, considering the offshore wind turbines’ size and environment, this task is outstandingly difficult. To overcome this barrier, in this paper, a metaheuristic algorithm called Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization...
متن کاملFatigue reliability analysis of jacket-type offshore wind turbine considering inspection and repair
In this paper prediction of the fatigue reliability of a fixed jacket offshore wind turbine designed for a North Sea site in a water depth of 70 m is performed. The longterm statistical distribution of stress ranges of tubular joints is obtained by combination of time domain simulation for representative sea states. The load histories are normalised to ensure that fatigue design criteria based ...
متن کاملPerformance based assessment of offshore wind turbine platform using the constrained new wave method
The purpose of this study is to provide a more accurate and practical method than static and spectral methods to assess the offshore wind turbines that are loaded with both wave and wind time history, the structure is evaluated by increasing the load intensity in successive steps to the stage of failure and the performance of the platform in different wave patterns are investigated. In this stu...
