Pérez Moreno, Carlos (author)FOWTs pose several control challenges. This work addresses reduced order modelling of FOWT to develop an MPC. They key objective is tackle the platform pitch instability while improving the performance in other KPIs. An existing reduced order model, which considers platform pitch and surge, and rotor speed DOFs is adapted and extended, with...master thesis 2023

Macabú Araújo Peres, Jadyr (author)With the increasing water depths of the new offshore wind farms, the challenging soil conditions, the availability of assets, and other factors, jack-up installation vessels may no longer be suitable to complete the installation scope of work for the new wind farms. Therefore, installation methods and techniques using floating vessels must be...master thesis 2023

van Beek, Maarten (author)Wind farms experience significant efficiency losses due to the aerodynamic interaction between turbines. A possible control technique to reduce these losses to a minimum is yaw-based wake steering. This thesis investigates the feasibility of this technique by calibrating a surrogate model called the FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady-state...master thesis 2020

Pamososuryo, Atindriyo Kusumo (author)Wind turbine technology has become one of the most attractive solutions to generate electricity as well as to cope with the global carbon emissions. Having a prospective future in terms of growing worldwide demands, it becomes more important to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) of the wind turbine which is generally done by...master thesis 2018
