Laboratory Study of Integrated Wet-Towing of a Triple-Bucket Jacket Foundation for Far-Offshore Applications

As a form of clean and low-carbon green energy, offshore wind power occupies an important position in the global energy structure. With the rapid development of the wind power industry, wind power projects gradually develop from offshore to far-offshore sea areas. The multi-bucket jacket foundation...

With the rapid development of the wind power industry, wind power projects gradually develop from offshore to far-offshore sea areas.
