Welcome to Josh Polk, who has joined my research group as of September 2023 as an undergraduate researcher. He will be primarily working on the turbine-level and farm-level offshore wind energy system modeling project.
Publication Information Abstract This study presents a multi-body dynamic modeling approach for exploring and optimizing the novel co-location design of ocean-based renewable energy systems and aquaculture fishery systems. As both systems expand offshore to meet global energy and food demands, competition for limited oceanic space has become a growing concern. The co-location of these two distinctive systems offers a solution to this challenge by combining them in overlapping geographical locations while addressing their respective objectives and constraints. The study introduces …
