Design Optimization of Wind Turbines
Outline
Some technical reasons behind the falling prices of energy from wind
Multidisciplinarity and the need for MDAO
MDAO tools: architectures, methods, limits and gaps
Conclusions and outlook
Design Optimization of Wind Turbines
Design Trends
Higher tower higher wind speed because of vertical shear
Reducing specific power, i.e. size grows more than power rating
Data for onshore turbines 1MW
Larger swept area larger power capture

Improved capacity factor lower CoE

Since can not be drastically increased, the most effective way to decrease is to reduce specific power (or power loading)
Increasing A
Decreasing
More time spent in region III at full power, increased capacity factor

Design Trends & Challenges
Larger machines can not be designed by simple upscaling of smaller ones, to avoid cubic law of growth: need for R&D and technological innovation
Grows as size3
Technological

Design Optimization of Wind Turbines
Some Present and Future Technological Innovations that Enable Upscaling
Each innovation will come with pros and cons Systems engineering -the final judge-: "Nice idea, but does it reduce CoE?"
