During the past decade, the development of offshore wind energy has transitioned from near
shore with shallow water to offshore middle-depth water regions. Consequently, the energy …

In the design, certification, and optimization of offshore wind turbines, extensive loads
simulation is inevitable to develop reliable and cost‐effective turbines. Description of the …

ABSTRACT LIDAR systems are able to provide preview information of wind disturbances at
various distances in front of wind turbines. This technology paves the way for new control …

ABSTRACT A field test with a continuous wave wind lidar (ZephIR) installed in the rotating
spinner of a wind turbine for unimpeded preview measurements of the upwind approaching …

In recent years there has been much interest in the possible use of LIDAR systems for
improving the performance of wind turbine controllers, by providing preview information …

In recent years, the lidar (light detection and ranging) technology has found its way into wind
energy. The main application is still in site assessment, but the possibility to optimize the …

An application of model predictive control (MPC) to the wind turbine collective pitch and
torque control problem in full-load operation is presented. The applied controller is able to …

The main challenges in harvesting energy from the wind arise from the unknown incoming
turbulent wind field. Balancing the competing interests of reduction in structural loads and …

This work presents the results from a field test of LIDAR assisted collective pitch control
using a scanning LIDAR device installed on the nacelle of a mid-scale research turbine. A …

In high flow velocity areas like those suitable for tidal applications, turbulence intensity is
high and flow variations may have a major impact on tidal turbine behaviour. A three-bladed …
