Evaluation of wind resource uncertainty on energy production estimates for offshore wind farms by Klemmer, Kerry S, Condon, Emily P, Howland, Michael F

“…Error and uncertainty from the TI and data sources are quantified through forward analysis using an analytical wake model. We find that the impact of TI error on AEP predictions is negligible, while data source uncertainty results in 0.4%–3.7% uncertainty over feasible candidate hub heights for offshore wind farms, which can exceed interannual variability.…”

Control co-design of a large offshore wind farm considering the effect of wind extractability by Pahus, ML, Nishino, T, Kirby, A, Vogel, CR

“…We present a prototype of a novel control co-design (CCD) method for large offshore wind farms. A traditional wind farm internal flow model using a Gaussian wake model and a Boolean yaw optimisation method is coupled, via the two-scale momentum theory, with an analytical model of 'wind extractability', to account for the farm-scale blockage effect that depends on the farm size and atmospheric boundary layer height. …”

Nitrite accumulation and anammox bacterial niche partitioning in Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge sediments by Zhao, Rui, Babbin, Andrew R, Roerdink, Desiree L, Thorseth, Ingunn H, Jørgensen, Steffen L

“…Here we combined biogeochemical, microbiological, and genomic approaches to study anammox bacteria and other nitrogen cycling groups in two sediment cores retrieved from the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR). We observed nitrite accumulation in these cores, a phenomenon also recorded at 28 other marine sediment sites and in analogous aquatic environments. …”

Adjustable wind selectivity in shearwaters implies knowledge of the foraging landscape by Harris, S, Bishop, C, Bond, S, Fernandes, P, Guilford, T, Lewin, P, Padget, O, Robins, P, Schneider, W, Waggitt, J, Wilmes, S, Cordes, L

“…By first uncovering the relationships between wind and the flapping effort put into flight, we show that shearwaters, while generally wind selective, adjust their wind selectivity, apparently balancing flight costs against the benefits of travel toward known targets. …”

Simulations study of fluid-structure interaction of a wind turbine by Zheng, Shuai

“…This report presents the study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of a 5kW horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). The motivation of the current investigation is to address the FSI problem of HAWT in the whole flow field analysis with hybrid turbulence model method which is used to find out the flow and structure characteristics of wind turbine in operation under different tip speed ratio (TSR). …”
