Abstract Model predictive control of a floating offshore wind turbine-generator system, in
which wave height as well as inflow wind speed is regarded as the previewed disturbances …

Lidar-assisted control is very promising to reduce the cost of energy for large floating
offshore wind turbines by reacting proactive to wind changes. This paper presents a tutorial …

We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for
offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the …

The demand for minute-scale forecasts of wind power is continuously increasing with the
growing penetration of renewable energy into the power grid, as grid operators need to …

IEA Wind Task 32 serves as an international platform for the research community and
industry to identify and mitigate barriers to the use of lidars in wind energy applications. The …

IEA Wind Task 32 exists to identify and mitigate barriers to the adoption of lidar for wind
energy applications. It leverages ongoing international research and development activities …

Inflow wind field measurements from nacelle-based lidar systems offer great potential for
different applications including turbine control, load validation, and power performance …

Profiling nacelle lidars probe the wind at several heights and several distances upstream of
the rotor. The development of such lidar systems is relatively recent, and it is still unclear …

Lidar systems installed on the nacelle of wind turbines can provide a preview of incoming
turbulent wind. Lidar-assisted control (LAC) allows the turbine controller to react to changes …

Lidar-assisted wind turbine control has been proven to be beneficial for turbine load
reduction. It relies on the preview of incoming turbulence provided by a nacelle lidar, which …
