Wind energy is recognized worldwide as cost-effective and environmentally friendly and is
among the fastest-growing sources of electrical energy. To further decrease the cost of wind …

The development of large-scale wind turbines is challenged by loads, mass, and cost
growth, and more flexible blades that impact power and tower clearance. Further, the long …

The ongoing increase in size of modern wind turbines creates the demand of better control
algorithms to counteract the increased loads acting on them. Individual blade pitch control …

The quest for reduced levelized cost of energy has driven significant growth in wind turbine
size; however, larger rotors face significant technical and logistical challenges. The largest …

A review of the aerodynamics, design and analysis, and optimization of wind turbines,
combined with the author's unique software Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is a …

The focus of this study was to investigate the application of lightweight fiber reinforced
composite materials in the construction of offshore wind turbine support structures. A …

We examine the effect of rotor design choices on the power capture and structural loading of
each major wind turbine component. A harmonic model for structural loading is derived from …

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

The quest for reduced LCOE has driven significant growth in wind turbine size. A key
question to enable larger rotor designs is how to configure and optimize structural designs to …

Controlling the air flow within wind power plants has the potential to improve plant
performance and is an active area of research in the wind energy control community. In …
