C104002 Structural analysis and design of offshore wind turbine structures 3.0 3
Description After years of development, the excellent wind field of the land is approaching saturation, and the offshore wind field has become the development strategy of wind power development strategies in various countries. With today’s technology, wind turbines can be constructed at any location, and in Taiwan, the development of offshore wind turbines is a worthy choice, since Taiwan Strait is one of the best wind fields in the world for the wind energy. The structural design of offshore wind turbines in Taiwan is just at the beginning stage, and the design knowledge is important but insufficient right now. For this reason, an appropriate course in Taipei Tech is essential. In this course, students will learn the three-dimensional structural analysis and design of offshore wind turbine structures. The impact of earthquakes, waves and winds need to be carefully considered when engineers design the offshore wind turbine structure.
