Availability, operation & maintenance costs of offshore wind turbines with different drive train configurations [PDF]
Different configurations of gearbox, generator and power converter exist for offshore wind turbines. This paper investigated the performance of four prominent drive train configurations over a range of sites distinguished by their distance to shore ...

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Characterization of Multimodality in Wind Farm Layout Optimization
ABSTRACT The phenomena of multiple optima in wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) problems is investigated. The choice of optimization algorithm and cost of solving WFLO problems is driven by the degree of local optimality in the design space; however little work has attempted to characterize this.

This study presents a new control strategy for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine systems to overcome the limitations of traditional direct field control using proportional‐integral (DFOC‐PI) regulators, which are sensitive to coefficient changes and lead to low power quality.
