abstract
A new approach that links finite element analysis FEA and a genetic
algorithm GA with Monte Carlo simulation MCS for the reliability
constrained optimal design of offshore wind turbine OWT support
structure is presented. This approach has been applied to optimise the
NREL SMW OWT on OC support structure. The objective function
minimises the weight of the support structure, constrained to design
and performance limits by attaining the desired reliability level. A
response analysis of the reference OWT is performed to estimate design
loads. Then, deterministic optimisation DO is carried out to find the
candidate design solutions. After that, a reliability assessment is
conducted to apply the target reliability constraint. This study reveals
that the design of a monopile support structure is mainly driven by
fatigue limit state. Also, there is no guarantee that DO candidate
designs always meet the structural reliability target level in all capacities.

Abstract: The aim of this work is to analyze the performance of a commercial micro gas turbine, focusing on the analysis of the fuel
consumption and the outlet compressor and turbine temperature at various rpm and to evaluate and compare the efficiency of the
device. A test bench has been assembled with the available equipment in the laboratory of the department of mechanical and aerospace
engineering in Roma. By using the software supplied by the manufacturer, the evaluation of the operating performance of the device at
different speeds has been performed, obtaining all the values of interest.
Key words: Gas turbine, test bench, experimental tests.
