Multi-disciplinary constrained optimization of wind turbines

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe procedures for the multi-disciplinary design optimization of wind turbines, where design parameters are optimized by maximizing a merit function, subjected to constraints that translate all relevant design requirements.

Aero-servo-elastic modeling and control of wind turbines using finite-element multibody procedures

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive nonlinear model-predictive controller is proposed to correct the deficiencies of the reduced model used for the prediction, and to self-adjust to changing operating conditions.

A high resolution tower shadow model for downwind wind turbines

TL;DR: In this article, a high resolution model for tower shadow effects on horizontal axis wind turbines has been developed which involves the use of a prescribed wake vortex model and an efficient near wake dynamic model of the vorticity trailed from the blade.
