With the increasing penetration of renewable energy into energy market, it is urgent to solve the problem of fluctuations of renewable energy sources (RES). Energy storage technology is regarded as one method to cope with the unstable nature of RES. One of these technologies is compressed air...

As the penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) into energy market is becoming increasingly evident, it is urgent to deal with the problem of fluctuations of RES. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), as one of energy storage technologies aiming at this problem, has excellent...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the smart load control on an Upwind/NREL 5 MW reference wind turbine under the IEC extreme wind shear (EWS) condition utilizing newly developed aero-servo-elastic platform. The control action was implemented through the local perturbation of a...

This paper presents a numerical study on the parametric effect of deformable trailing edge flap (DTEF) on the fatigue load of a large-scale wind turbine blade. Investigations were conducted within the operation regions II and III of the turbine, respectively. Results showed that, compared with...
