Offshore wind is a source of clean, renewable energy of great potential value to the power
industry in the context of a low carbon society. Rapid development of offshore wind energy …

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 …

A simplified design procedure for foundations of offshore wind turbines is often useful as it
can provide the types and sizes of foundation required to carry out financial viability analysis …

Comprehensive reference covering the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines As
the demand for “green” energy increases the offshore wind power industry is expanding at a …

Many monopile-supported offshore wind turbines (OWTs) have been installed in seismic
regions. To determine the seismic response of monopile-supported OWTs accurately, it is …

At present, the UK government is driving the survival of the wind energy industry by using
interventions that encourage investment in the sector. The use of a Contract for Difference …

Large-diameter monopiles are the most commonly used foundation to support offshore wind
turbines. Early designs usually adopted pile diameters (D) between 4 and 6 m, which is …

Offshore wind turbines are typically founded on single large diameter piles, termed
monopiles. Pile diameters of between 5m and 6m are routinely used, with diameters of up to …
