Vibration Measurements on a Cable-Stayed Cyclist Arch Bridge for Assessment of the Dynamic BehaviourVerdenius, S.A. (author), Bronkhorst, A.J. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)The new cable-stayed arch bridge Tegenbosch (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) needed an assessment of its dynamic behaviour under wind loading due to its slender design. Because of wind-induced vibration issues on a number of bridges in the Netherlands with similar designs, it was decided to examine if vortex excitation, wind-rain induced vibration,...conference paper 2023

Kell, N.P. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Li, L. (author), Santibanez-Borda, E. (author), Pillai, A.C. (author)This paper presents a novel agent-based, stochastic model, which uses game-theoretic principles to simulate Contract for Difference (CfD) auctions. The framework has use cases and implications for policymakers and renewable generators alike, and can be used by developers to prepare bidding strategy and for policymakers to empirically test...article 2023

(author)Large-scale offshore wind energy developments represent a major player in the energy transition but are likely to have (negative or positive) impacts on marine biodiversity. Wind turbine foundations and sour protection often replace soft sediment with hard substrates, creating artificial reefs for sessile dwellers. Offshore wind farm (OWF)...article 2023

Moverly Smith, B. (author), Clayton, R. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Thies, P.R. (author)Recently, floating wind has enjoyed much public and governmental attention and is commonly identified as a crucial next step on the route to net zero targets for many countries. However, there is currently a large gap between the scale and readiness-level of devices in the water and the end-of- the-decade aspirational targets of many governments...article 2022

Bronkhorst, A.J. (author), Moretti, D. (author), Geurts, C.P.W. (author)Wind-induced vibrations are an important aspect in high-rise building design. The structural properties that influence vibrations are the mass and stiffness of the building and the foundation. These properties are difficult to predict in the design, resulting in inaccurate predictions of the dynamic response. As a first step towards better...conference paper 2022

Hur, C. (author), Ferreira, C. (author), Schepers, J.G. (author)Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) experience yaw misalignments due to the phy sical limitations of yaw controllers and various novel active yaw controls. Moreover, the motion of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) accelerates yaw misalignment. The blade element mo mentum (BEM) method is widely used due to its computational efficiency for...article 2022

Nycander, E. (author), Morales-Espana, G. (author), Soder, L. (author)We propose a power-based unit commitment formulation with capacity and intra-hour ramp reserves for dealing with intra-hour wind power variability and uncertainty. Although the formulation has an hourly resolution, the intra-hour ramp requirements capture wind power ramp excursions with a time duration below one hour, and thus allows the...article 2022
