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 …

The Industry 4.0 concept of a Digital Twin will bring many advantages for wind energy
conversion systems, eg, in condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and the …

The aeroelastic coupling effect is playing an increasingly important role in the aerodynamic
and aeroelastic characteristics of wind turbine blades owing to the increasing size of modern …

The interference of blade wake flow can pose a threat to the safety of flexible tower
structures. In order to investigate the influence of airfoil position parameters on the VIV …

Vertical-axis wind turbines have the potential to be installed nearby urban areas, where
noise regulations are a constraint. Accurate modelling of the far-field noise with low-order …

We examine the effect of rotor design choices on the power capture and structural loading of
each major wind turbine component. A harmonic model for structural loading is derived from …

The aerodynamic performance of the floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is obviously
affected by the motion of the platform, and becomes much more complicated considering the …

The comprehensive numerical simulation of the tower shadow effect on floating offshore
wind turbines (FOWTs), an area less explored compared to fixed-bottom wind turbines, is …

As wind turbine rotors become larger, the blades become more flexible, requiring extra
stiffness and cost to avoid the risk of tower strike. Wind turbines in a downwind configuration …

The downwind rotor configuration provides a structural advantage compared with an upwind
design. However, tower shadow has long been a concern for downwind systems. The tower …
