Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind energy has been playing a growing role in the global energy market. Both onshore and offshore wind turbines have emerged as a clean energy extraction solution of the 21st century. However, the structures of wind turbines, which are the greatest machines on the Earth, are subject to large loads and undesirable vibrations caused by wind, sea currents. and waves, as well as rotating machinery unbalance, which may limit the energy extraction efficiency and lead to damage, in addition to shortening the fatigue life. Hence, reducing the vibration load impact on these structures is a fundamental challenge wind energy faces nowadays. Wind turbines’ vibration control methods aiming to increase reliability and reduce maintenance costs are of great interest as they may lead to the minimization of the cost of energy factor.
To address these problems, novel approaches to vibration attenuation are essential, including various vibration absorbers, mass and liquid dampers, control actuators, and inerters. In addition, control solutions involved in the performance of these renewable energy systems should also be addressed to reduce vibration and thus improve energy efficiency and increase the fatigue life.
This Special Issue will focus on novel results in the field of modeling, simulation, experimental testing, optimization, and control of offshore and onshore wind turbines. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Modeling and identification of wind turbine structures;
- Soil/seabed–structure interaction, wind/ wave–structure interaction;
- Wind turbine vibration phenomenon analysis;
- Structural control problems and solutions;
- Optimization of wind turbines’ fatigue life;
- Wind turbines’ vibration attenuation with regard to energy efficiency maximization;
- flow analysis, including CFD modeling of wind turbine operation;
- advances in wind turbines design, construction and experimental testing;
- wind turbines electricity production forecasting.
