Kerssemakers, Daan (author)To accelerate the growth of offshore wind power, its Levelised Cost Of Energy (LCOE) must be reduced. A means of reducing the LCOE of offshore wind power is by mitigating the adverse wake effect by employing Wind Farm Control (WFC) for power maximization. A recent WFC technology is the helix approach, which uses Individual Pitch Control (IPC) to...master thesis 2022

Frederik, J.A. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)In recent studies, the effectiveness of different so-called wake mixing strategies has been assessed in terms of wind farm power maximization. These studies show that by dynamically varying the pitch angles of a wind turbine, wake mixing can be enhanced to increase the overall power production of a wind farm. However, such strategies also...journal article 2022

Rajasekaran, N. (author)The power generated from wind is not synchronized to the electrical frequency of the power grid. Grid balancing services must be assured when the output from a wind farm is integrated into the electrical grid to avoid the risk of blackouts.<b> Active Power Control (APC)</b> methods are employed to provide grid balancing ancillary services such...master thesis 2020

BAKALONI, ELENI (author)Wind turbines constitute a sustainable and effective solution for the production of energy using wind power. Offshore wind turbines are becoming of special interest. However, their design poses great challenges, since an offshore structure is subjected to combined wind and wave dynamic loading that is characteristic of the installation site and...master thesis 2018

Kouka, A. (author)Project Code: OE54015, OE54030. The potential of offshore wind is enormous. The wind resource offshore is generally much greater than onshore, especially at bigger water depths. Expanding prudently into the sea leads to bigger support structures for the wind turbine. Therefore, the need for optimized designs, which will establish the wind energy...master thesis 2016
