Lifetime extension of offshore support structures of wind turbines: A review

We are excited to share our new open-access publication in the journal of "Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews"!
📚 The paper, titled "Lifetime extension of offshore support structures of wind turbines: A review", explores strategies to extend the service life of offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures.
🌊 Offshore structures face harsh marine environments, and extending their operational life is crucial for the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of wind energy. In this comprehensive review, we discuss:
✅ Advanced monitoring and maintenance techniques
✅ Structural reinforcement and material enhancements
✅ Economic and environmental benefits of life extension
✅ Challenges and future perspectives for offshore wind infrastructure
