Abstract

The support structures of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) play a crucial role in ensuring their stability and performance, often enduring harsh environmental conditions that can reduce their operational lifespan. Extending the life of OWT support structures is essential to improving the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of wind energy. This paper reviews the various strategies and technologies for extending the lifetime of OWT, including advanced monitoring systems, maintenance techniques, structural reinforcements, material enhancements, and lifetime extension methods, with main focus on structural parts. It also examines the economic and environmental benefits of life extension and provides an analysis of the current state of research in this field. A comprehensive review is presented, offering a detailed insight into advancements and challenges in extending the operational life of support structures for OWTs.

期刊介绍： The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
