Evaluation of simple wind power forecasting methods applied to a long-term wind record from Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present an analysis of the ability to predict the power output from a nominal wind turbine or wind farm a few hours ahead using only locally available data – either the current and recent wind speed or power output. A third method combines the current

Transmission Systems for Offshore Wind Power Plants and Operation Planning Strategies for Offshore Power Systems

open access: yes, 2012
The electric system within an offshore wind power plant and its connection to the main power system pose new challenges to the experts. The best way of interconnecting the wind turbines inside a wind farm has to be found, fulfilling both, redundancy ...

A Study on the Effect of External Loading for the Composite Material Layup of a Large Wind Turbine Blade Based on a Pattern Search Algorithm

open access: yesEnergies
As the trend towards larger wind turbines continues, the increasing length of wind turbine blades imposes higher demands on their structural properties. Long flexible wind turbine blades at the hundred-meter scale now typically employ composite materials.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Investigations of Attitudes towards Offshore Wind Farm Development in Ireland: Their Implication towards Future Development of the Industry.

open access: yes, 2013
This current research investigates what the attitudes of Irish people are towards the development of offshore wind farms in Ireland. Using a qualitative approach, a questionnaire is carefully designed and distributed among a sample population from three

Probabilistic modelling of geotechnical conditions for offshore wind turbine support structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The geotechnical conditions of the soil can fluctuate greatly across the wind farm. This is an issue since geotechnical modelling is the base of the structural design of an offshore wind farm, and the efficient installation of the wind turbines ...

A Data-Driven Front Tracking Algorithm for Autonomous Undersea Vehicles

open access: yes水下无人系统学报
To meet the requirement for adaptive observation of autonomous undersea vehicles(AUVs), a data-driven ocean front tracking algorithm was designed. This algorithm constructed a hybrid temperature field prediction model based on Gaussian process regression(

Upper bound limit analysis of coral reef limestone cavern roof stability incorporating a tension‐shear failure mechanism with tensile‐strength cut‐off

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.
