A simulation study demonstrating the importance of large-scale trailing vortices in wake steering [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science, 2018
In this paper, we investigate the role of flow structures generated in wind farm control through yaw misalignment. A pair of counter-rotating vortices is shown to be important in deforming the shape of the wake and in explaining the asymmetry of wake ...

Quarter-Century Offshore Winds from SSM/I and WRF in the North Sea and South China Sea

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
We study the wind climate and its long-term variability in the North Sea and South China Sea, areas relevant for offshore wind energy development, using satellite-based wind data, because very few reliable long-term in-situ sea surface wind observations ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Blade Surface Pressure Measurements in the Field and Their Usage for Aerodynamic Model Validation

open access: yesWind Energy
This study presents results from a long‐term measurement campaign on a research wind turbine in the field. Pressure measurements are conducted at 25% blade radius over several months.

Weibull parameters determined from a comprehensive dataset of tensile testing of single carbon fibres

open access: yesData in Brief
This data article presents tensile properties of about 1200 single carbon fibres (PYROFIL™ TRW40 50L) tested at eight different gauge lengths in the range of L0∈ [20; 80] mm with approximately 150 tested fibres for each length.

Wake behavior and control: comparison of LES simulations and wind tunnel measurements [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science, 2019
This paper applies a large-eddy actuator line approach to the simulation of wind turbine wakes. In addition to normal operating conditions, a specific focus of the paper is on wake manipulation, which is performed here by derating, yaw misalignment and ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Opportunities and Challenges of Advanced Testing Approaches for Multi-Megawatt Wind Turbines

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics
To safely integrate large numbers of wind turbines into the electric power grid, turbines must demonstrate compliance with grid codes and technical guidelines through rigorous testing.

Comparison of wind farm control strategies under realistic offshore wind conditions: turbine quantities of interest [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science
Wind farm flow control is a strategy to increase the efficiency and therefore lower the levelized cost of energy of a wind farm. This is done using turbine settings such as the yaw angle, blade pitch angles, or generator torque to manipulate the flow ...

Effect of drop‐size parameterization and rain amount on blade‐lifetime calculations considering leading‐edge erosion

open access: yesWind Energy, 2022
Leading‐edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades is caused by the impact of particles, for example, raindrops, and leads to a loss in the power production and high maintenance cost.
