This roadmap provides strategic analysis of the offshore wind development potential in Vietnam, considering the opportunities and challenges under different growth scenarios. It is intended to provide evidence to support the Government of Vietnam in establishing policy, regulations, processes,...

Recent developments in wind energy research including wind speed prediction, wind turbine control, operations of hybrid power systems, as well as condition monitoring and fault detection are surveyed. Approaches based on statistics, physics, and data mining for wind speed prediction at different...

A new design methodology of gain scheduled controllers for wind turbines is presented. The proposed methodology is intended to deal with multi-variable and high order models as those produced by high fidelity aeroelastic simulators. The methodology consists in interpolating the local controller...

This paper presents a complete design of a two-level control system to capture maximum power in wind energy conversion systems. The upper level of the proposed control system adopts a modified line search optimization algorithm to determine a setpoint for the wind turbine speed. The calculated...

Many advances have been made during the last decade in the development and application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), numerical weather modeling, and other numerical methods as applied to the wind energy industry. The current information about this area of...
