Floating wind turbine optimization via surrogate modelling

In recent years, the interest in deep-water wind energy projects has drastically increased, driven by the considerable wind resource in deep-water locations. In such locations, floating wind turbines are more economically attractive than bottom-fixed wind turbines. Nevertheless, the floating wind industry faces numerous challenges. One major...

The Hybrid Power Plant: Optimal design and operation of battery energy storage as an addition to onshore wind farms in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, wind power has the highest potential for future development compared to alternatives such as solar PV and biomass. The intermittent nature of the wind power resource calls for novel approaches to supply and demand management, as well as power quality assurance. Energy storage technologies allow for the separation between...

Inventory and Modelling of Different Objective Functions and their Impact on Optimal Design of an Offshore Wind Farm

The design of an offshore wind farm (OWF) is multidisciplinary in nature as it involves the design of many disciplines such as the wake effects, support structure, electrical cables etc. For the optimal design of an OWF, an optimization procedure is required where all the disciplines are optimized simultaneously. The objective function plays a...

Optimal Wind Farm Lifetime Power Production

This project is a collaboration between Goldwind, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Delft University of Technology (TUDelft), of which focusing in developing an optimization model that could determinate the optimal operation schedule for wind turbine under the uncertainty of the electricity price and limitation in life-time equivalent...
