Wake effects are important to wind turbine design and wind farm design, because they will affect the aerodynamic performance and structural loads of wind turbine operating in a wind farm. Wake effects were investigated ...

Wind power, especially offshore, is considered to be one of the most promising sources of ‘clean’ energy towards meeting the EU targets for 2020 and 2050. However, its popularity has always fluctuated with the price of ...

Fatigue crack growth rate is an important factor for the life assessment of engineering components and structures. Various surface treatment techniques have previously been developed and employed in industrial applications ...

Liquid combustible fossil fuel empowers global society, yet is a non-renewable entity with time-constrained limits to supply. Advanced generation biofuel derived from microalgae could feasibly yield more than conventional ...

An assessment of the longitudinal motion of a hybrid configuration called the aerodynamically alleviated marine vehicle (AAMV) with the presence of waves, is demonstrated in the thesis. The development of this type of ...

Corrosion fatigue has a detrimental influence on structures, particularly those used in harsh marine environments. Offshore structures for renewable energy applications have significant volume of manufacturing and developing ...

Due to concerns about climate change and energy security there has been considerable growth in the installed capacity of offshore wind energy worldwide over the last two decades. Owing to engineering constraints offshore ...

This research project aims to develop and apply appropriate methods dealing with risk and uncertainty at a technology and energy system level providing decision support to the various stakeholders involved in the planning, ...
