Among renewable sources of energy, wind is the most widely used resource due to its
commercial acceptance, low cost and ease of operation and maintenance, relatively much …

Different engineering structures, eg, long-span bridges, bundled conductors, and cable-
supported photovoltaic modules, exhibit various frequency relationships among different …

Downwind force angles are small for current turbines systems (1–5 MW) such that they may
be readily accommodated by conventional upwind configurations. However, analysis …

Now a days wind turbine blades are generally designed to have length as high as 60 m or
more to maximize power production. Aeroelastic instabilities such as flutter are major …

With the larger size of wind turbine blades, coupled-mode flutter of long, flexible rotating
blades has become an issue that cannot be neglected. Recent studies have shown that …

Modern wind turbine blade having large slender structure are vulnerable to aeroelastic
instability. Aeroelastic tailoring through bend-twist stiffness coupling is an effective way to …

In this paper, an aeroelastic analysis of a rotating wind turbine blade is performed by
considering the effects of geometrical nonlinearities associated with large deflection of the …

With the progression of novel design, material and manufacturing technologies, the wind
energy industry has successfully produced larger and larger wind turbine rotor blades while …

Wind turbine blades continue to grow in length to extract more energy from the wind. This
trend results in more flexible blades that are more susceptible to flow-induced instabilities …

This paper proposes a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC) for pitch control of
Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) in Region 3 to avoid flutter aero-elastic instability …
