Short summary

In this work, a Kriging meta-model of an idling offshore wind turbine is analysed in detail for the first time. It becomes clear that the findings regarding meta-modelling of the idling wind turbine are generally similar to the findings regarding meta-modelling of the same wind turbine in normal operation. However, for the approximation of the rotor blade root bending moments, two additional input parameters have to be included compared to the same wind turbine in operation.
