Energy is an integral part of economic growth and social development. Renewable energy
sources are naturally occurring, which can help in reducing the dependency on non …

This paper represents an expert view from Europe of future emerging technologies within
the wind energy sector considering their potential, challenges, applications and technology …

In the world, efforts to increase the resource diversity in electric generation have accelerated
lately. So, the great improvements have been achieved in wind turbines (WTs). The …

The individual pitch controller can mitigate asymmetric loads in wind turbines. However,
wind turbine dynamics have strong nonlinearity and high uncertainty. In addition to target …

Tidal energy has the potential to significantly contribute to energy security by providing
predictable renewable energy. New technology is needed to decrease the levelised cost of …

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 …

The paper proposes a smart rotor configuration where adaptive trailing edge flaps (ATEFs)
are employed for active alleviation of the aerodynamic loads on the blades of the NREL 5 …

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 …

This paper mainly focuses on the control of a typical extreme load, ie Extreme Coherent Gust
with Direction Change (ECD) and Normal Sea State (NSS), on a floating wind turbine (FWT) …

This paper presented a numerical study on the smart fatigue load control of a large-scale
wind turbine blade. Three typical control strategies, with sensing signals from flapwise …
