An Assessment of the Potential for Co-located Offshore Wind and Wave Farms in Ireland
(2020)Ireland’s geographic location along the Atlantic Ocean means that it has one of the highest resources of wind and wave energy on the planet. Despite this, successful integration of wave energy into the Irish energy system ... -
A Comparison of Soil Structure Interaction Models for Dynamic Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines
(2020)This paper compares the dynamic response of an OWT structure where the below ground pile-soil behaviour is modelled using (i) the conventional API ‘p-y’ approach and (ii) the ‘PISA’ approach. A nonlinear aero-elastic code ... -
Flow in a large wind field with multiple actuators in the presence of constant vorticity
(2022)Study of wind farms is an area of active research. Researchers have proposed simplified wind farm models which define the wake structure in a wind farm and how they affect the performance of the wind turbines. Interestingly ... -
Individual Blade Pitch Control of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Load Mitigation and Power Regulation
(2020)This paper proposes a new strategy for individual blade pitch control to regulate power production while simultaneously alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore wind turbines. Individual blade pitch ... -
Multi-resolution wavelet pitch controller for spar-type floating offshore wind turbines including wave-current interactions
(2020)This paper proposes a wavelet multi-resolution based individual pitch control strategy for spar-type floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) and investigates its performance under joint wind-wave-current loads considering ... -
Quantifying the total net benefits of grid integrated wind
(2007)Throughout the world significant development is being encouraged in wind energy for electricity generation. A complete cost benefit analysis has been conducted in this paper on the impacts of grid connected wind generation. ... -
A Review of Rapid Distortion Theory
(2022)With the depleting non-renewable fuel sources like coal and an ever-increasing demand for energy, we need to start looking into renewable energy sources. These are of paramount importance for a sustainable and green future. ... -
A study of wind-wave misalignment for the Irish coastline and its effect on the wind turbine response
(2022)A wind turbine is one of the largest rotating structures on earth. More wind turbines are now being developed with taller towers and longer blades, making them more flexible. As a result, an offshore wind turbine can ... -
Vibration Control of Wind Turbines: Recent Advances and Emerging Trends
(2020)The wind energy sector globally is expanding and developing technically at a rapid pace. Demand for renewable energy is soaring and there is a need for increasing the efficiency and design life of wind turbine ... -
Wavelet‐based individual blade pitch control for vibration control of wind turbine blades
(2019)This paper proposes a novel individual blade pitch control strategy with the objective of reducing blade vibration. A wavelet linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control algorithm, which is an advanced modification of the ...
