Dynamics of Offshore Wind Energy Converters on a Monopile Foundation: DesignStudy Based on the First Dutch Offshore Wind Farm Lely. With a Contribution on System Identification Experiment Design

摘要

A design study on offshore wind energy converters on a monopile foundation basedon deisgn data of the first Dutch offshore wind farm Lely in the IJsselmeer is carried out. The objectives are to investigate the effect of the dynamic characteristic of the support structure and the site conditions with respect to foundation properties and hydrodynamic loading. Therefore the dynamics of three different support structures, soft-stiff onshore (design A), soft-stiff offshore (design B), soft-soft offshore (design C), is analyzed.
