Short summary
The industry standard for analysis of monopile foundations is inaccurate, and alternative models for foundation behavior are needed. This study investigates how four different soil-foundation models affect the fatigue damage of an offshore wind turbine with a monopile foundation. Stiffness and damping properties have a noticeable effect, in particular for idling cases. At mud-line, accumulated fatigue damage varied up to 22 % depending on the foundation model used.
