The rise in prices of traditional energy sources, the high dependence of many countries on
their import, and the associated need for security of supply have led to large investments in …

This manuscript delves into the transformative advancements in wind turbine blade
technology, emphasizing the integration of innovative materials, dynamic aerodynamic …

The development of large-scale wind turbines is challenged by loads, mass, and cost
growth, and more flexible blades that impact power and tower clearance. Further, the long …

We present a large-eddy simulation framework capable of control co-design of large wind
turbines, coupling the turbulent flow environment with blade aeroelastics and turbine …

Turbulent and gusty wind conditions can cause generator overspeed peaks to exceed a
threshold that then lead to wind turbine shutdowns, which then decrease the energy …

Large deformation from continuously varied thicknesses on existing and wind turbine blade
shell structures is investigated. Various structure models having complicated outer shapes …

Wind turbine design encompasses many different aspects including aerodynamic, structural,
electrical, and control system design. To achieve optimal plant performance, a system …

Wind energy has consistently grown over recent decades and has grown in many aspects
including in terms of installed capacities, turbine size, blade length, and grid penetration …

This paper represents a preface to the Proceedings of the 20th World Wind Energy
Conference & Exhibition (WEEC 2022) held in Rimini, Italy, from the 28 th to the 30 th of …

Larger rotor diameters are sought by wind turbine manufacturers as they favour cost-
effective energy generation. However, manufacturing, transporting, and installing longer …
