Barlas, A. (author)This thesis investigates particular concepts and technologies that can alleviate fatigue loads on wind turbines by using distributed active aerodynamic devices on the blades, a concept briefly referred to as `smart blades'. Firstly, published research work on smart control devices is reviewed, and the pros and cons for the application on wind...doctoral thesis 2011

(author)This paper studies the load reduction potential of a prototyped “smart” rotor. This is, a rotor where the blades are equipped with a number of control devices that locally change the lift profile on the blade, combined with appropriate sensors and controllers. Experimental models, using dedicated system identification techniques, are developed...journal article 2010

Barlas, A. (author), van Kuik, G.A.M. (author)A newly developed comprehensive aeroelastic model is used to investigate active flap concepts on the Upwind 5MW reference wind turbine. The model is specially designed to facilitate distributed control concepts and advanced controller design. Different concepts of centralized and distributed control schemes based on choices of realistic...conference paper 2009
