Wind power exhibits low controllability and is situated in dispersed geographical locations,
presenting complex coupling and aggregation characteristics in both temporal and spatial …

This paper presents the modeling, control system design, and experimental results for a
prototype lighter-than-air wind energy system being pioneered by Altaeros Energies. This …

In this paper, we present an online approach for optimizing the 3D layout of an ocean
current turbine (OCT) array. Unlike towered turbines, most OCT concepts for Gulf Stream …

A hierarchical Wind Farm Control (WFC) approach was previously developed that uses
Power Adjusting Controllers (PACs) on each wind turbine in a wind farm. The PACs can be …

The focus of this paper is centered on the Buoyant Airborne Turbine (BAT) developed by
Altaeros Energies. This system is part of a new class of wind energy system known as …

Wind turbines in a wind farm typically operate individually to maximize their own
performance regardless of the impact of aerodynamic interactions on neighboring turbines …

In recent decades there has been increasing interest in green energies, of which wind
energy is the most important one. In order to improve the competitiveness of the wind power …

This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC)-based spatio-temporal optimization
strategy that is applied to the problem of optimizing the altitude of an airborne wind energy …

We present a multi‐fidelity black‐box optimization approach for integrated design and
control (IDC) of constrained nonlinear systems in the presence of uncertainty. The IDC …

Recent research has demonstrated exciting potential for wind plant control systems to
improve the cost of energy of wind plants. Wind plant controls seek to improve global wind …
