Focus Day

9:50 AM From Tip/Top to bottom – challenges in validation of structural components for off-shore wind turbines


• Off-shore wind turbine structural validation faces challenges from top to bottom, requiring thorough analysis and testing.


• Extreme loading conditions necessitate robust validation techniques to ensure component integrity.


• Validation at the tip involves assessing aerodynamics, material fatigue, and structural response.


• Validation at the bottom involves evaluating foundation stability and dynamic interaction with the supporting structure.
