Nico Maljaars

Nico Maljaars is Advisory Engineer Offshore Loads at Siemens Gamesa. His expertise focuses on numerical modelling of the turbines support structure in aero servo elastic software and the response of the integrated wind turbine system. Nico has contributed to multiple offshore wind projects with several support structure concepts, from early phase design studies and sensitivity analyses to detailed load assessments and model validation. His work supports informed design decisions and the development and verification of modelling approaches for offshore wind applications.

Offshore Foundations, Conference Day 1 | Tuesday, 25th August 2026

10:10 The REDWIN Framework for Integrated Load Analysis: Principles, Industry Adoption, and Future Outlook

* REDWIN Framework: Principles, validation against full scale offshore turbine data, and benefits for integrated load analysis
* Model implementation: Implementation in industry tools, e.g., integration into aero-elastic code BHawC by Siemens Gamesa
* Model performance: Fatigue and Extreme load reductions and related stiffness and damping behaviour based on experiments on several projects
* Future Outlook: Next steps towards Standardization, Industry adoption and Certification
