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 …

Wind energy is an important sustainable energy to achieve carbon neutrality. To capture
maximum wind energy, wind turbine sizes sharply increase and turbines work under more …

This paper presents the development of a multi‐fidelity digital twin structural model (virtual
model) of an as‐built wind turbine blade. The goal is to develop and demonstrate an …

Scientists have reported that plant leaf veins grow into an optimized architecture not only to
accomplish their biological and physiological functions but also to sustain the environmental …

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 …

The design of renewable energy systems such as wind turbines or solar panels
conventionally employs Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), but this metric fails to account for …

The size of offshore wind turbines over the next decade is expected to continually increase
due to reduced balance of station costs per MW and also the higher wind energy at …

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 …

The size of wind turbines has been steadily growing in the pursuit of a lower cost of energy
by an increased wind capture. Within this trend, the vast majority of wind turbine rotors have …
