In the present work, the possibility of reducing the mass and thereby the capital cost of a 10
MW-scale wind turbine blade is assessed by applying passive load control techniques. Two …

In the paper, the potential to alleviate wind turbine loads through combined implementation
of different passive and active control methods is assessed. Passive control of loads is …

Individual pitch control and trailing edge flaps have been shown to be capable of reducing
flapwise fatigue loads on wind turbine blades, with research to date focusing on controller …

The present work considers the application to a medium‐size onshore wind turbine of
passive load mitigation technologies, first individually and then integrated together. The …

This work is concerned with the design of wind turbine blades with bend‐twist‐to‐feather
coupling that self‐react to wind fluctuations by reducing the angle of attack, thereby inducing …

As the diameter of wind turbine rotors increases, the loads across the rotors are becoming
more uneven due to the inhomogeneous wind field. Therefore more advanced passive or …

Through numerical simulations that use trailing edge flaps as active aerodynamic load
control devices on wind turbines that range from 0.6 MW-5MW rated power, a 20-32 …

The main focus of this work is to offer an extensive investigation regarding the use of
backward swept blades for passive load alleviation on wind turbines. Sweeping blades …
