Wind farm control has been a topic of research for more than two decades. It has been
identified as a core component of grand challenges in wind energy science to support …

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 …

Load identification is the premise of wind turbine blade design and control. In wind farms,
due to the lack of a thorough understanding of the blade loads, catastrophic accidents occur …

The paper focuses on variable-rotor-speed/variable-blade-pitch wind turbines operating in
the region of high wind speeds, where control is aimed at limiting the turbine energy capture …

The installation of wind energy increased in the last twenty years, as its cost decreased, and
it contributes to reducing GHG emissions. A race toward gigantism characterizes wind …

This article proposes a new strategy for individual blade pitch control to regulate power
production while simultaneously alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore …

Offshore wind turbine (OWT) rotors have large diameters with flexible blade structures which
are subject to asymmetrical loads caused by blade flapping and turbulent or unsteady wind …

The sizes of wind turbines have been steadily increasing over the past decade, especially
on offshore sites. The greater structural flexibility of such machines necessitates the …

Owing to the aerodynamic conversion process, wind turbines exhibit a nonlinear behavior
and encounter turbulent operating conditions that demand well-defined closed-loop …

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 …
