Description du livre
This extensive and expansive book focuses on three core areas of detail: the design, construction, and classification criteria for offshore bottom-load wind turbines; offshore floating-load wind turbines; and the global performance and integrated load analysis of offshore wind turbines. The book explains the rules and regulations (as they currently exist) around the design and building of offshore wind turbines and then analyzes their performance parameters around the globe. For context, the book includes simulations based on models across varying operational conditions including wind loads, snow and ice, rain, and other typical maritime conditions. This book makes ideal reading for offshore engineers, surveyors, and engineering students at university looking to go into the offshore and renewables industry. Key concepts such as integrated load analysis, dynamic modeling, and environmental impact are thoroughly examined. The chapters offer insights into frequency-domain and time-domain analyses, coupled with practical case studies on foundation modeling and mooring systems. Readers will uncover critical discussions on aerodynamic loads, seismic impacts, and fatigue assessments. This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of offshore wind turbine technology.
Ideal for engineers, surveyors, and students in the field of offshore engineering, this book serves as a vital reference for professionals and academics alike. Whether readers are involved in the design or development of renewable energy projects or are students aspiring to enter this dynamic industry, Fatima Aderouane’s expertise offers invaluable guidance. This work is particularly relevant for those associated with institutions focusing on renewable energy engineering and offshore technology.
