Yong Hoon Lee presented at the Wind Energy Science Conference 2021 about the CCD framework for integrating interdisciplinary models of floating offshore vertical-axis wind turbines

Publication Information Presented by: Yong Hoon Lee Authors: Yong Hoon Lee, Sung-Youn Boo, and James T. Allison Title: A framework for integrating hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, and rigid-body dynamics for the control co-design of floating offshore vertical-axis wind turbine systems Conference: Wind Energy Science Conference (WESC 2021) Links: [BIBTEX], [ABSTRACT] Abstract Offshore wind at deep-water regions is a large energy source that has not yet been developed in the United States. The major challenges in extracting this large amount of potential wind …

A collaborative work on the CCD with a reduced-order horizontal-axis FOWT model is presented at the Wind Energy Science Conference 2021

Publication Information Abstract Floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) design involves many physics disciplines, including structural dynamics, aerodynamics, mooring system dynamics, hydrodynamics, and controls. In traditional engineering design practices, control design is generally left for a later stage of the design process, while plant design decisions, including geometrical shapes and sizes, are made with simple control assumptions. However, when there is a strong design coupling between plant and control designs, this sequential approach may not produce system-optimal solutions. To account for …
