This book pursues the ambitious goal of combining floating wind turbine design optimization and reliability assessment, which has in fact not been done before. The topic is organized into a series of very ambitious objectives, which start with an initial state-of-the-art review, followed by the development of high-fidelity frameworks for a disruptive way to design next generation floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) support structures. The development of a verified aero-hydro-servo-elastic coupled numerical model of dynamics for FOWTs and a holistic

At the end of their operational life, offshore wind farms (OWF) have to be decommissioned. At present, there is little experience in decommissioning OWF. Due to the size and number of wind turbines, experiences can be transferred to the upcoming decommissioning of OWF only to a limited extent. The research project "SeeOff - Strategy development for efficient offshore wind farm decommissioning" has set itself the goal of supporting companies involved in OWF decommissioning in the development of sustainable OWF decommissioning

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an established methodology used to quantify the environmental impacts of products, processes and services. Circular economy (CE) thinking is conceptual way of considering the impacts of consuming resources. By taking a closed loop approach, CE provides a framework for influencing behaviours and practices to minimise this impact. Development of the circular economy is a crucial component in the progression towards future sustainability. This book provides a robust systematic approach to the circular economy concept, using
