A combined wind and wave energy-converter concept in survivalmode: Numerical and experimental study in regular waves with afocus on water entry and exit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
Water entry (including slamming) and exit phenomena as well as green water on deck were observed during survivability model tests of a combined wind and wave energy converter concept. Here, a nonlinear numerical ...
Stochastic Response Analysis of Mooring Systems with Emphasis on Frequency-domain Analysis of Fatigue due to Wide-band Response Processes
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2008:11, Doctoral thesis, 2008)
Mooring systems are widely used in the offshore industry to limit the horizontal excursions of a floating structure from desired position in order for the structure to fulfill the required tasks. Safety of mooring systems ...
Statistical fault diagnosis of wind turbine drivetrain applied to a 5MW floating wind turbine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
