26.6 Futuretrends
Once more experimental or analytical data are available for the demands
on offshore wind turbines, the models developed in this chapter can be
updated using a Bayesian updating rule. The methodology developed in
this chapter can also be applied to onshore wind turbines as well as
both offshore and onshore wind turbines supported by different types of
foundations.
