A Review of Flow Control for Gust Load Alleviation
Effective control of aerodynamic loads, such as maneuvering load and gust load, allows for reduced structural weight and therefore greater aerodynamic efficiency. After a basic introduction in the types of gusts and the current gust load control strategies for aircraft, we outline the conventional gust load alleviation techniques using trailing-edge ...

Wind Turbine Gust Load Alleviation with Active Flow Control
Large wind turbine rotors are becoming more common in utility-scale wind power, especially for offshore wind plants. However, the trend toward large rotors can be limited by their ability to manage dynamic and extreme loads. To provide a safety margin for the rotor design and avoid catastrophic events such as tower strikes, extreme loads need to be ...

Trailing-edge flow control for wind turbine performance and load control [PDF]
This paper reports an investigation into the performance of trailing-edge flow control devices on horizontal axis wind turbines by solving the three dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations in the rotational framework. The validation case selected for this work is the NREL Phase VI blade with wind tunnel experimental data.

Optimal Sizing of Voltage Control Devices for Distribution Circuit with Intermittent Load [PDF]
We consider joint control of a switchable capacitor and a D-STATCOM for voltage regulation in a distribution circuit with intermittent load. The control problem is formulated as a two-timescale optimal power flow problem with chance constraints, which ...

Managing NFV using SDN and control theory [PDF]
Control theory and SDN (Software Defined Networking) are key components for NFV (Network Function Virtualization) deployment. However little has been done to use a control-theoretic approach for SDN and NFV management.

Architectural design and load flow study of power flow routers [PDF]
Power flow routing is an emerging control paradigm for the dynamic and responsive control of electric power flows. In this paper, we investigate the design and modelling of the power flow router (PFR) which is a major building block of power flow routing.

Stability of dynamical distribution networks with arbitrary flow constraints and unknown in/outflows
A basic model of a dynamical distribution network is considered, modeled as a directed graph with storage variables corresponding to every vertex and flow inputs corresponding to every edge, subject to unknown but constant inflows and outflows.
