During the past decade, the development of offshore wind energy has transitioned from near
shore with shallow water to offshore middle-depth water regions. Consequently, the energy …

Nowadays, the increasing environmental issues especially concerning the global warming
have motivated a run for the use of renewable energy sources. Wind energy represents a …

Renewable energy is being embraced globally as a viable alternative to conventional fossil
fuels generators. This is in direct response to the challenge of depleting fossil fuel reserves …

Wind turbines are often sited together in wind farms as it is economically advantageous.
However, the wake inevitably created by every turbine will lead to a time-varying interaction …

Doppler wind LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) makes use of the principle of optical
Doppler shift between the reference and backscattered radiations to measure radial …

Optimizing wind turbine performance is still a challenge due to the dynamic interactions
between the spatially temporally stochastic wind fields and the wind turbine as a complex …

The main challenges in harvesting energy from the wind arise from the unknown incoming
turbulent wind field. Balancing the competing interests of reduction in structural loads and …

IEA Wind Task 32 serves as an international platform for the research community and
industry to identify and mitigate barriers to the use of lidars in wind energy applications. The …

IEA Wind Task 32 exists to identify and mitigate barriers to the adoption of lidar for wind
energy applications. It leverages ongoing international research and development activities …

The induction zone in front of different wind turbine rotors is studied by means of steady‐
state Navier‐Stokes simulations combined with an actuator disk approach. It is shown that …
