Abstract:In this work, a methodology for the shape and sizing optimization of steel jackets for offshore wind turbines considering the full dynamic response of the structure in a fully-coupled model is presented. The coupled model includes the jacket, the transition piece, the tower of the turbine, the rotor-nacelle assembly and the blades. The rotation of the blades is also included in the model. Ultimate limit state (ULS), fatigue limit state (FLS) and natural frequency constraints are imposed to the model and the we… Show more
