Satsingen på flytende vindturbiner i Norge øker, men hvordan kan vi være sikre på at en vindturbin holder i 25 år? For å bygge parker som kan produsere grønn energi fremover, behøver vi mer kunnskap om vinden til havs. Vi modellerer vindturbinene for å være sikre på at de holder det de lover, og...

The global dynamic response of floating wind turbines is commonly simulated using aero‐hydro‐servo‐elastic tools that consider numerically generated wind files as input. Based on the guidelines given in existing standards, two methods of generating such wind files are typically used: the Mann...

Model testing of offshore structures in ocean basins has been accepted as a necessary step for the validation and calibration of numerical models, as well as for final design checks in extreme environments. While offshore wind power makes no exception, model testing has not shown its full potential...
