Can offshore wind turbines mitigate earthquake-induced vibration?
The structural control techniques used to mitigate the earthquake-induced vibration are summarized. The future research trends regarding seismic analysis of wind turbines are proposed recommended. Offshore wind continues to play a significant role in accelerating the transition to clean energy consumption from fossil fuels.
Can wind turbine structural analysis be performed under earthquake loadings?
Therefore, it is not applicable for wind turbine structural analyses under earthquake loadings.
Are renewable power systems resilient under climate risks?
Increasing grid penetration of renewables coupled with intensifying climate extremes under climate change presents superimposed risks to future power systems. This Perspective analyses the critical factors influencing the resilience of renewable power systems under climate risks and proposes climate-resilient solutions towards a net-zero future.
Is shutting down a wind turbine a good choice in an earthquake?
This is attributed to the interaction of turbulent wind with the wind turbine in the operational condition, which dissipates the input energy from earthquake excitations, resulting in a reduction of the structural response. The results suggested that shutting down is not the optimal choice in the event of an earthquake. Fig. 12.
