Design of Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines

by Subhamoy Bhattacharya

Comprehensive reference covering the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines

As the demand for “green” energy increases the offshore wind power industry is expanding at a rapid pace around the world.

Design of Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines is a comprehensive reference which covers the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines, and includes examples and case studies. It provides an overview of a wind farm and a wind turbine structure, and examines the different types of loads on the offshore wind turbine structure. Foundation design considerations and the necessary calculations are also covered. The geotechnical site investigation and soil behavior/soil structure interaction are discussed, and the final chapter takes a case study of a wind turbine and demonstrates how to carry out step by step calculations.

Key

New, important subject to the industry. Includes calculations and case studies. Accompanied by a website hosting software and data files.

Design of Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines is a must have reference for engineers within the renewable energy industry and is also a useful guide for graduate students in this area.

One of the best books and supposedly the only book available at the moment for design of offshore wind turbines. Simple, but rigorous treatment of the subject for easy understanding of beginners and experts.
