This work focuses on studying and analyzing the power generation in offshore bladeless vibrational wind turbines. In previous work, we developed detailed research about the vibrational wind turbine design and configuration; in this new work, we analyze the energy supply from this type of turbine to achieve a better understanding of the behavior and potential of bladeless vibrational wind turbines (BVWT) as an additional power source in offshore wind farms. This paper evaluates the BVWT power coefficient to determine the turbine performance. The study also analyzes the factors influencing wind turbine behavior and how changing these parameters can improve turbine efficiency. The simulation results prove that BVWT represents a feasible and reliable power source in wind farms, with the wind turbines operating at optimum conditions in turbulent winds.

Keywords: Wind energy, bladeless vibrational wind turbine, performance simulation and optimization, turbulent wind regime operation, output power, energy generation
