The long and flexible blades of the offshore wind turbine are easily damaged during extreme
wind conditions (eg typhoons or tornados). For this reason, a continuous aeroelastic model …

It is proposed that the small-size wind turbines can demonstrate the innovative solution for
the wind energy conversion for low speed regions. An innovative design, control, and …

A novel singularity-free, tuning-free, and reduced-order strain-based beam formulation is
developed for analyzing slender multibody systems such as folding wing aircraft and …

The design optimization of wind turbines and their subsystems will make them competitive
as an ideal alternative for energy. This paper proposed a design procedure for one of these …

The Floating Frame of Reference (FFR) formulation is a well-established and reliable
method for modeling flexible multi-body systems. The FFR formulation has been adopted for …

This paper studies the effect of the tower dynamics upon the wind turbine model by using
mixed sets of rigid and/or nodal and/or modal coordinates within multibody system dynamics …

Wind energy has proven to be an important source of clean and renewable energy. In order
to take advantage of wind turbines, the design of aerodynamic-efficient blade is required not …

This paper presents the effectiveness of using mixed, nodal and/or modal coordinates in
modeling wind turbines. The paper shows that the nodal model exhibits excellent numerical …
