Summary
Offshore wind energy is an important source of renewable energy. Recently, to reduce the levelized cost of energy, offshore wind turbines have been developing rapidly towards large-sized and far-offshore applications. Offshore wind turbines are highly integrated and complex energy harvesting systems, which may experience extremely harsh weather conditions. The design of offshore wind turbines requires multidisciplinary knowledge to cope with the multi-scale and multi-physics problems in engineering practice. To overcome the challenges and promote the advances in offshore wind turbines, theoretical and technical innovations are needed.
This special issue aims to publish the research on the recent advances in offshore wind turbines. Topics of interest for this Special Issue essentially relate to the following areas:
· aeroelastic and hydroelastic analysis
· wake analysis and optimization
· numerical modeling and code validation
· model and prototype testing
· offshore wind measurements
· new material applications
· artificial intelligence (AI) applications
