Abstract :
[en] Steel is currently the most common material used in the construction of offshore wind turbines. With towers reaching new heights of over 100 m, and with production assembly and transportations constraints being more and more heavier, it became obvious that for an offshore wind turbine to become cost effective, the total amount of steel used needed to be minimal. The main objective of EOL-OS is to provide a competitive analysis tool and to perform structural optimizations of the tower of a fixed offshore and onshore wind turbine, in order to obtain either the least cost or the least weight. Thru the use of EOL-OS a wind turbine designer or steel manufacturer can determine what is the best solution in terms of cost or weight, in order yield the maximum benefit from a wind turbine.
