Foundation monitoring for offshore windfarms — •Jörg Bendfeld¹ and Jens Krieger² — ¹Universität Paderborn, KET, Pohlweg 55, 33098 Paderborn — ²Airwerk GmbH, Industriering 14 49393 Lohne

The offshore wind energy industry is still relatively young. There is little or simply not really sufficient experience regarding the safety of the wind turbine foundations; the material stress due to wind and waves is still not completely clear. A continuous foundation monitoring including analysis is therefore needed. A foundation monitoring includes: -*scour monitoring, -*grout monitoring, -*inclination monitoring, -*load monitoring, -*acceleration monitoring, -*monitoring of turbine position, -*metocean sensors. There is not yet a standard concerning the scope of offshore foundation monitoring projects. Realization details depend on wind park project specifics such as foundation type, water depth, soil conditions, etc.
