Abstract The use of offshore wind farms in Europe to provide a sustainable alternative energy source is now considered normal. Particularly the North Sea, large number exist with significant distance from coast. This becoming standard practice as larger areas are required support operations. Efficient transport and monitoring these can only be conducted using helicopters. As turbines continue g...

Improving performance of wind turbines through effective control strategies to reduce the power generation cost is highly desired by the wind industry. The majority of the literature on performance of wind turbines has focused on models derived from principles versed in physics. Physics-based models are usually complex and not accurate due to the fact that wind turbines involve mechanical, elec...

Abstract Multiple rotors on single structures have long been proposed to increase wind turbine energy capture with no in rotor size, but at the cost of additional mechanical complexity yaw and tower designs. Standard turbines their own very-closely-spaced towers avoid these disadvantages create a significant disadvantage; for some directions wake turbulence enters swept area very close downwind...

The wind turbine technology is now a developed technology. Modern wind technology incorporates each aspect of grid integration, stability and power quality issues in the arena of reliable power production to user end or utility. The paper provides cumulative modernization of wind turbine technology through literature survey of wind turbine configurations followed by discussion of different cont...

A permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) variable speed wind turbine connected to an electrolyzer and a battery model system is presented in this paper. Hydrogen gas could be produced from the model system, when a variable wind speed is applied to the PMSG driven variable wind turbine. The simulation results presented shows the nature of some of the variables of the PMSG wind driven turb...
