Blade planform design optimization to enhance turbine wake control

Abstract This study considers optimizing the planform of wind turbine blades to ultimately enhance wind plant controls, namely, wake steering strategies. Adjoint‐enabled unsteady actuator line simulations are carried out to obtain gradients for optimization of several different performance objective...
