Abstract

Considering the size and dimension of offshore wind turbines, the optimization of such structures is a tedious task. Nonetheless, in this chapter, a meta-heuristic algorithm named Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO) is employed when investigating the optimal design of jacket supporting structures for offshore wind turbines. The OC4 reference jacket is considered as the case study, validating the outcomes of this algorithm.
