Standards, Challenges and Achievements on Design of Offshore Wind Turbine Jacket and Monopile Foundations
摘要
Vietnam is considered to be one of potential countries for offshore wind energy development and offshore wind foundation design is one of important tasks contributing to success of a wind farm project. However, offshore wind industry is new in Vietnam and the country has not yet released standards and guidelines supporting this work. To partly address this shortage, this paper makes a review on international standards and industrial practices as well as design related issues of jacket and monopile offshore wind turbine foundations, which have been the most two popular solutions applied in the real wind farms all over the world. The latest achievements and challenges about structural and geotechnical design of these foundation types are also discussed in this paper.
