In this study, a novel optimization technique called the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm based
on Blade Element Momentum Theory (ABC-BEM) was developed and applied for the first …

This paper investigates the use of a passive tuned mass‐damper‐inerter (TMDI) for vibration
control of spar‐type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The TMDI is a relatively new …

This paper proposes the use of a tuned mass damper fluid-inerter (TMDFI) for vibration
control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The use of an inerter in parallel …

This work numerically compares the mechanical power performance of four horizontal-axis
Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) with different design characteristics. One baseline three …

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are the largest rotating structures on the earth.
Dynamically sensitive structures such as these must be protected in these environments to …

Modern multi-megawatt wind turbines are composed of slender, flexible, and lightly damped
blades and towers. These components exhibit high susceptibility to wind-induced vibrations …

Clustering wind turbines as a wind farm to share the infrastructure is an effective strategy to
reduce the cost of energy. However, this results in aerodynamic wake interaction among …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is increasingly used to analyze wind turbines, and the
next logical step is to develop CFD‐based optimization to enable further gains in …

The wind energy industry relies heavily on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze
new turbine designs. To utilize CFD earlier in the design process, where lower-fidelity …
