Abstract

Summary

Addressing climate change and achieving sustainable energy solutions demands a significant scale-up in renewable energy installations, such as large wind farms consisting of multiple wind turbines, while minimizing their environmental impact. However, constructing wind farms requires substantial resources, leading to significant costs, particularly for foundations. Optimizing resource use and cost management becomes crucial to ensure environmentally responsible practices.

To promote effective wind energy projects, geophysical solutions are being explored. Understanding near-surface and near-seafloor characteristics (in marine environments) aids in identifying optimal turbine locations, considering factors like geology and sediment composition. Established geophysical methods, such as surface/guided wave analysis and inversion, provide valuable insights into near-surface and near-seabed (an)elastic properties. These parameters are vital for assessing foundation performance and predicting soil behavior under dynamic conditions, ensuring the safety and efficiency of wind turbines installations.
