The development of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) technology facilitates the exploration of deep-ocean wind resources. Meanwhile, there are still open questions on how the structural response will affect the performance of floating turbines and wind ...
Understanding the effects of platform motion on the performance of floating wind turbines is essential to optimize the exploitation of deep-ocean wind resources. In this work, theoretical analyses and wind tunnel experiments are conducted to study the effe ...
Wind tunnel experiments were performed with a miniature floating wind turbine model to study the effects of cyclic pitch motion on its power performance. The cyclic pitch motion was prescribed by two key parameters: pitch frequency and amplitude. The power ...
Wind-tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of leading-edge separation on the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically-supported elongated bluff body. Solid wind barriers of various heights were fixed in the leading edge to ad ...
In this study, wind-tunnel experiments are used to investigate cyclic yaw control as a wake mitigation strategy aiming to improve wind farm power production. The control strategy is applied to a single wind turbine and a wind farm comprising of a column of ...
