On the Load Impact of the Helix Approach on Offshore Wind Turbines: Quantifying and analyzing the fatigue load impact of the helix approach on offshore wind turbine components.

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...

On the effects of an azimuth offset in the MBC-transformation used by IPC for wind turbine fatigue load reductions

<br/>Wind energy currently is one of the most attractive solutions to help in the goal of switching to a more sustainable way of energy production. To stay competitive with other forms of energy production, the reduction of the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) is an important indicator. One way of achieving this goal is by increasing the size of...
