A hardware-in-the-loop wave-basin scale-model experiment for the validation of control strategies for floating offshore wind turbines

This paper presents a new hardware-in-the-loop methodology for wave-basin scale-model experiments about floating offshore wind turbines and its application as a tool for the validation of control strategies. In the hardware-in-the-loop experiments, the physical Froude-scaled wind turbine model used in conventional scale-model tests is...

Inclusion of rotor moments in scaled wave tank test of a floating wind turbine using SiL hybrid method

The hybrid testing method developed by CENER for floating wind turbine scaled tests combining wind and waves (SIL) has been upgraded in order to introduce not only the wind turbine rotor thrust, but also the out-of-plane rotor moments (aerodynamic and gyroscopic). The former ducted-fan has been substituted by a multi-propellers actuator...

Identification of cancer genes using a statistical framework for multiexperiment analysis of nondiscretized array CGH data

Tumor formation is in part driven by DNA copy number alterations (CNAs), which can be measured using microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH). Multiexperiment analysis of aCGH data from tumors allows discovery of recurrent CNAs that are potentially causal to cancer development. Until now, multiexperiment aCGH data analysis has...
