Reliability and sustainability of offshore wind turbine support structures in marine environments: a comprehensive review of failures, monitoring technologies, robotics, and predictive O&M

Offshore wind turbine support structures face escalating challenges operating in increasingly demanding marine environments, requiring a rigorous focus on reliability and sustainability. This comprehensive review synthesizes current knowledge regarding degradation mechanisms—including cyclic loading, corrosion, and scour—across diverse support concepts like monopiles and floating platforms. Integrating field observations, failure case analysis, and advancements in structural health monitoring, including digital twins and robotics, the study identifies critical gaps in long-term validation and integrated maintenance frameworks.
