Academic Press Marine Operations of Offshore Wind Turbines: Autonomous Systems and Applications (Wind Energy Engineering)

Marine Operations of Offshore Wind Turbines: Autonomous Systems and Applications, a new release in Elsevier's Wind Energy Engineering series, draws on the latest advances in marine operations to offer practical information on dynamics and automatic control. The book begins by introducing marine operations and offshore wind turbines, the fundamentals of dynamics and automatic control, and the definition of operability for marine operations before in-depth chapters cover numerical modeling and simulation tools, lifting operations for components, active control of offshore single-blade installation, modeling and control of full assembly installation and use of low-height mechanisms, and further technological developments. This is a valuable resource for all those looking to understand dynamics and automatic control techniques for offshore wind turbine operations, including researchers, students, engineers, R&D, policymakers, and industry professionals. Offers comprehensive knowledge with detailed derivations for dynamics and control of marine operations Reviews numerical modeling and simulation tools for dynamics and control of wind turbines during installation Addresses key challenges for single-blade installation and full assembly installations Provides hands-on case studies based on research advances and practical experience
