Comparison of Structural Properties between Monopile and Tripod Offshore Wind-Turbine Support Structures

Offshore wind power provides a new kind of green energy. This paper presents a comparison study on the structural properties of monopile and tripod wind-turbine support structures, which are used extensively in offshore wind farms. Both structures have the same upper tower, but different lower struc...
