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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
