About
Lene Eliassen is a leading researcher in offshore renewable energy, specializing in the experimental validation of floating wind turbines through advanced model testing. Her work centers on developing and refining the Real-Time Hybrid Model (ReaTHM®) testing method, a groundbreaking approach that overcomes the scaling limitations of traditional ocean basin experiments. Eliassen’s most-cited paper (2018, 24 citations) introduces a cable-driven parallel robot system for multi-degree-of-freedom actuation of rotor loads, enabling more accurate simulation of aerodynamic forces on floating wind turbine models. Her subsequent study (2018, 20 citations) demonstrates the successful application of ReaTHM® testing on a 10MW semi-submersible floating wind turbine, providing critical validation data for numerical models used in extreme environment design. By bridging the gap between physical scale models and real-world turbine dynamics, Eliassen’s contributions have significantly enhanced the reliability of floating wind technology development. Her work is essential for researchers and engineers seeking to de-risk offshore wind projects through robust experimental methods, and her innovations continue to shape industry standards for hybrid testing in ocean engineering.
