Wake-affected offshore tower and foundation loads

Wind farm conditions in the ocean

Funded by: ForskEL

The objective of this project is, on the basis of straingauge measurements on six turbine towers in the Rødsand 2 wind farm, to identify, model and verify the basic mechanisms of increased loading experienced by turbines operating in wind farm conditions
as compared with solitary wind turbines subjected to an identical ambient wind climate. Specific focus will rest on loads on tower, foundation and yawing.
