However, wind energy technologies have dramatically matured, deployment has massively scaled-up, and there is a need to revisit the topic to explore the new dynamics of offshore systems, grid integration, reliability, and to offer guidance on operation and maintenance. In addition, the international political and economic landscape has shifted once more in favor of how we can harness the power of wind to address ever-critical environmental needs. The authors come from a range of specialisms ensuring a thorough examination of the essential themes; they review the present technological and scientific challenges in the analysis and design of offshore wind turbine foundations, with examples from Europe, the USA, China, India and Japan, and examine the use of physical modelling to overcome some of the design challenges and to verify the TRL (Technological Readiness Level) of innovations. The book is aimed at both practitioners and students, and the authors have placed mathematical expressions and definitions in framed textboxes to ensure that those who require math can access it, whilst those who prefer to read can enjoy the flow uninterrupted"--
