Job title PhD Position in Environmental Risks and Benefits of Offshore Wind Farms. Company Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Marine Animal Ecology Group, in collaboration with Wageningen Marine Research (WMR), the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), and Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Description of the job Wageningen University & Research offers a fully funded PhD position within the NO-REGRETS project, a 5.5-year, multidisciplinary research programme funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and co-designed with stakeholders to understand the ecological and economic tradeoffs of upscaling offshore wind farms in the North Sea in light of climate change and in relation to the ongoing food and nature transitions. Over the next decades, the use of the North Sea will dramatically increase to accommodate large-scale implementation of renewable energy platforms. While providing a sustainable source of energy,...

Job title PhD in Marine Technology – Response Estimation and Wave Prediction for Offshore Wind Farm Installation and Operations. Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU offers a 3-year PhD position focused on response estimation based on remote distributed sensing of the wave field in an offshore wind park, in combination with metocean forecasting data. Cost- and risk-optimal installation and operation of offshore wind farms depend on accurate forecasts and predictions of environmental conditions and response of vessel and auxiliary systems. Improved sea-state and wave prediction can lead to real-time solutions for prediction of motion responses and wave loads during installation tasks such as turbine/blade installation as well as mooring and cable installation. The research task will further investigate exploitation of such methods for...

Job title PhD in Integrated Wind Turbine Modelling Tools for Drivetrain Health Monitoring. Company Department of Marine Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Description of the job The Department of Marine Technology at NTNU offers a 3-year PhD position focused on developing near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole offshore wind turbine system and environmental loading for early fault detection in drivetrains. An offshore wind turbine installation is the result of a two-stage design process. As turbines get larger, the interaction between machinery and structure becomes more important. It is common practice to use a very simplified model of drivetrain in global analysis tools and ignore the coupling effects, often due to model complexity. This project is based on earlier experience in drivetrain and global models, aiming to build near real-time hybrid, data-driven models considering the whole system and...
