Abstract
Strong political and industrial forces, especially in Northern Europe, support the
development of new technologies as well as improvements of existing technologies within the field of renewable energy. Offshore wind power is a domestic, sustainable and largely untapped energy resource. Today, the modern offshore wind turbine offers competitive production prices compared to other sources of renewable energy. Therefore, it is a key technology in breaking the dependence on fossil fuels and in achieving the energy and climate goals of the future.
For offshore wind turbines, the costs of foundation typically constitutes 20-30 % of the total costs. Hence, improved methods for the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines can increase the competitiveness of offshore wind energy significantly.
The monopile foundation concept has been employed as the foundation for the majority of the currently installed offshore wind turbines. The overall aim of the present thesis is to enable low-cost and low-risk foundations to be designed for future offshore wind farms. Therefore, the soil-pile interaction for non-slender, large-diameter offshore piles has been investigated.
