Optimize Rotating Wind Energy Rotor Blades Using the Adjoint Approach

Optimize Rotating Wind Energy Rotor Blades Using the Adjoint Approach

Wind energy rotor blades are highly complex structures, both combining a large aerodynamic efficiency and a robust structure for lifetimes up to 25 years and more. Current research deals with smart rotor blades, improved for turbulent wind fields, less maintenance and low wind sites. In this work, a...
