Reliability analysis of jacket type offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structure under extreme ocean environmental loads was performed. Limit state function (LSF) of OWT support structure is defined by using structural dynamic response at mud-line. Then, the dynamic response is expressed as the...

The paper presents a generalized regression technique centered on a superquantile (also called conditional value-at-risk) that is consistent with that coherent measure of risk and yields more conservatively fitted curves than classical least-squares and quantile regression. In contrast to other...

International students are often well represented in graduate programmes in North America and Europe. Information on foreign countries' education systems and grading schemes is available but cross-country comparisons are often challenging and highly subjective. Therefore, universities have a...

This paper presents a Monte Carlo procedure intended for the assessment of the metal-oxide (MO) surge arresters risk of failure in onshore wind farms. It focuses on the energy withstand (absorption) capability of the MO surge arresters in relation to lightning surges and in terms of their risk...
