Characterization of Multimodality in Wind Farm Layout Optimization

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
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.

Improving the Characteristics of the Direct FOC Strategy in DFIG‐Based Wind Turbine Systems Using FOIDD and FOPD Controllers

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
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.

Failure rate, repair time and unscheduled O&M cost analysis of offshore wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Determining and understanding offshore wind turbine failure rates and resource requirement for repair are vital for modelling and reducing O&M costs and in turn reducing the cost of energy. While few offshore failure rates have been published in the past
