Cumulative O&M costs of offshore wind farms can amount to 38% of lifetime costs. In wind farms, upstream turbine wakes can result in up to 80% higher fatigue loads at downstream wind turbines. The present work therefore investigates to reduce wind turbine fatigue loads during the provision of grid...

To cope with a large-scale introduction of renewables into power systems, it is important to understand the reduction of variability in the aggregated generation or the so-called smoothing effect. Knowledge of the degree of smoothing is used for assessing the potential impact of intermittent...

The offshore wind sector has achieved significant cost reductions in recent years. However, there is still work to be done to maintain and surpass these savings across current and future farms. There is increased competition to reduce costs within the industry itself. Additional challenges are...
