Multiobjective Optimization of Composite Wind Turbine Blade [PDF]
Materials, 2022 When designing a wind turbine, the main objective is to generate maximum effective power with the lowest possible production costs. The power of a wind turbine depends primarily on the aerodynamic properties of its blades. Moreover, the cost of making a blade for a wind turbine, and therefore also for the entire wind turbine, depends on the materials ...

Enhancing wind turbine blade damage detection with YOLO-Wind. [PDF]
Sci RepThis study presents an enhanced YOLOv8n framework for wind turbine surface damage detection, achieving 83.9% mAP@0.5 on the DTU dataset-a 2.3% improvement over baseline models. The architecture replaces standard convolutions with depthwise separable convolutions (DWConv) to optimize computational efficiency without compromising detection accuracy.
