This project will facilitate a net-zero energy transition by extending the applicability of bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines (BOWTs) to deeper waters with higher wind energy generation potential. This is pursued by a novel optimisation-driven BOWT design protocol, coupling minimal weight sizing of the turbine support structure with optimal tuning of innovative vibration absorbers to minimize the critical wind/wave stresses.
