Uncertainty Quantification of A Wind Farm Control Model: FLORIDyn

Wind energy becomes more and more popular since it is environmentally friendly. Wind farm control is one of the most popular topics and it works on steering the wind farm to extract energy from wind as much as possible. Generally, the model capturing wake effects between turbines in the wind farm plays a role in wind farm control. The existing...

Fatigue Load Emulation of Offshore Wind Turbines Using Advanced Surrogate Models

Understanding the fatigue load history of wind turbines is critical for taking decisions regarding the lifetime of a project. However, direct measurement of fatigue loads at each turbine in a wind farm is unfeasible. For this reason, surrogate models offer a useful alternative. In this thesis, a methodology for creating surrogate models for...

Breaking the Curse of Dimensionality: Polynomial Chaos for Exploratory Modelling

In light of worsening climate change and an increased interest in adapting infrastructure to cope with its effects, model-based decision support has become an essential tool for policy makers. In conditions of deep uncertainty, models may be used to explore a large space of possible system behaviours and so encourage a wider consideration of the...
