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...
