The demand for alternative and renewable energy sources has been substantially growing
in recent years, mainly steered by economic and environmental inconveniences of …

The performance of a wind farm is affected by several key factors that can be classified into
two categories: the natural factors and the design factors. Hence, the planning of a wind farm …

A control framework and integrative design method for an adaptive wind turbine blade is
presented. The blade is adapted by actively transforming the twist angle distribution (TAD) …

A versatile framework is introduced for determining optimal steady‐state operating points for
wind turbine control. The framework is based on solving constrained optimization problems …

This paper presents a novel approach to the optimization of a dynamic systems design and
control. Traditionally, these problems have been solved either sequentially or in a combined …

I. Introduction na typical optimization problem some of the output responses are optimized
by adjusting the input design variables targeting a best possible combination. If the …

A variable ratio gearbox (VRG) provides discrete variable rotor speed operation, and thus
increases wind capture, for small fixed-speed wind turbines. It is a low-cost, reliable …

Within the prevailing single-kite paradigm, the current roadmap towards utility-scale airborne
wind energy (AWE) involves building ever larger aircraft. Consequently, utility-scale AWE …

ORMAL experimental optimization was developed early in the 20th century to help farmers
maximize yields by varying inputs such as water and fertilizer. The process consisted of …

Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of an array of wind turbines have been carried out to design
and evaluate a model-free approach, extremum-seeking control (ESC), for power …
