Optimization of monopile offshore wind structures

As industrialization is essential for large methodology to optimize the scantling of monopile s t el structures has been developed using a genetic alg rithm. The objective functions of this tool are min imization of the structure weight and production co sts. The constraints implemented are mainly rela wind turbine support and fatigue strength at welded connections between shells and stiffeners. This op timiz tion should be invoked at the preliminary stage of the offshore project in o structure design on the fabrication and installatio n c sts. rceans locam. Offshore r-
