Join Mathias Schult, Principal Software Engineer at DNV, as he explores the essential substructures that support offshore wind turbines, a vital player in renewable energy. In this episode, he dives deep into the types of fixed offshore wind substructures, including gravity-based structures, monopiles, and jackets, and uncover the specific benefits and engineering reasons behind each selection for various seabed and depth conditions.
For fixed offshore wind: Which foundation types are available?
Monopiles: Steel monopiles, driven deep into the seabed, offer a cost-effective and efficient solution, now evolving with XXL monopile designs to meet the needs of deeper waters.
Jackets: These multi-legged lattice structures, available in both three- and four-legged configurations, provide unmatched stability for deeper waters and varying seabed conditions.
Tripods and tripiles: Though less common today, these substructures offer an interesting part of offshore wind history and are sometimes still seen in specific projects.
