Numerical Modelling of Offshore Wind Energy Systems
Description
The final section of the book explores numerical modelling techniques as applied to novel concepts and future trends, including twin-rotor wind energy systems, integration with marine energy resources, multi-energy hybrid floating systems, and other areas. This latest volume will be of interest to all those involved in the design, development, and installation of offshore wind turbines, floating energy systems, and wave-wind-current hybrid systems, including researchers, students, engineers, and other practitioners.
