Contributor van Bussel, G.J.W. (mentor) Huijsmans, R.H.M. (mentor) Bierbooms, W.A.A.M. (mentor) Faculty Aerospace Engineering Date 2012-10-24 Abstract In the past decades, offshore wind energy has emerged as one of the most promising renewable alternatives to the traditional fossil sources of energy. Although the ocean has a vast potential, with higher wind speeds and lower turbulence levels than onshore, the required marine foundations make the realization of an offshore wind farm expensive. Partly, the high cost of a foundation is caused by the safety factor that is used to compensate for uncertainties in modeling the forces acting on the offshore wind turbine.
