Fast and reliable prognostic tools for fatigue (re)assessment of OWT substructures for new and existing wind farms
Welded joints, Fatigue assessment, Local stress, As-built data - Jiacheng Qi
The expansion of offshore wind energy calls for reliable fatigue assessment of welded joints in turbine substructures. By combining as-built data, advanced modelling, and nonlinear damage evaluation, new tools aim to enhance lifetime prediction for both existing and future wind farms.
