Interview 2025 on site - Michiel van der Meulen, Engineer, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy
As offshore wind turbines scale beyond 15MW, wave loading is becoming one of the most critical and uncertain design challenges. In this interview, Michiel van der Meulen explains how turbine size growth is changing structural dynamics, introducing wave‑induced resonance, higher fatigue risks, and greater uncertainty in traditional design load cases. He discusses why selecting the right environmental conditions is essential for safe design, the growing role of probabilistic approaches, and how monitoring and improved methodologies will be key to supporting the next generation of offshore foundations.
