Among renewable sources of energy, wind is the most widely used resource due to its
commercial acceptance, low cost and ease of operation and maintenance, relatively much …

This review article examines the range of sensors that have been proposed for monitoring
wind turbine blade loads for the purpose of active load control over the past decade. Wind …

Wind energy is a fast-growing and promising renewable energy source. The investment
costs of wind turbines have decreased over the years, making wind energy economically …

The long and flexible blades of the offshore wind turbine are easily damaged during extreme
wind conditions (eg typhoons or tornados). For this reason, a continuous aeroelastic model …

With the development of wind turbine manufacturing technology, the wind turbine rotor is
facing more design challenges for exposing to complex environmental conditions and …

In this paper the reductions of fatigue and extreme loads of wind turbine components are
analysed. An individual flap controller was designed to reduce cyclic loads. The load …

This paper describes the implementation of system identification and controller design
techniques using model predictive control (MPC) for wind turbines with distributed active …

Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of airfoils fitted with morphing trailing edges are
investigated using a coupled structure/fluid/noise model. The control of the flow over the …

To enable further growth of wind turbine dimensions and rated power, it is essential to
decrease structural loads that wind turbines experience. Therefore a great portion of …

A new sub-scale field-prototype design solution is developed to realize the dynamics,
structural response, and distributed loads (gravitational, aerodynamic, centrifugal) that are …
