Abstract
Control co-design (CCD) represents an integrated approach to simultaneously optimize the physical design and control strategies of wind turbines, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This review explores the current state of CCD, addressing advancements in methodologies, challenges in defining and quantifying couplings, and limitations in existing applications. While CCD has demonstrated potential in improving wind turbine design, gaps remain in standardizing coupling metrics and expanding its applicability to broader design problems. By establishing robust methodologies and addressing current challenges, CCD can become a transformative approach in advancing sustainable and cost-effective wind energy systems.
