Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been tremendous developments in offshore wind energy during the past ten years. As a key component, offshore wind turbine foundation, either bottom-fixed or floating, plays a critical role in the dynamics and stability of the whole system. Therefore, there is a large ambition to develop various kinds of foundation technology. This Special Issue focuses on various foundation design, analysis, model tests, installation, and also economic issues.
