Precision Computation of Wind Turbine Power Upgrades: An Aerodynamic and Control Optimization Test Case
TL;DR: In this article, a general method is formulated for assessing the wind turbine power upgrades using operational data based on the study of the residuals between the measured power output and a judicious model of the power output itself, before and after the upgrade.

Design and Optimization of Composite Offshore Wind Turbine Blades
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal design of a composite offshore wind turbine blade was determined through a parametric study by using a finite element method, where the skin thickness, thickness and width of the spar flange, and thickness, location and length of the front and rear spar web were varied until design criteria were satisfied.
