Wind is one of the most promising sources of alternative energy. The construction of wind farms is destined to grow in the U.S., possibly twenty-fold by the year 2030. To maximize the wind energy capture, this paper presents a model for wind turbine placement based on the wind distribution. The...

An anticipatory control scheme for optimizing power and vibration of wind turbines is introduced. Two models optimizing the power generation and mitigating vibration of a wind turbine are developed using data collected from a large wind farm. To model the wind turbine vibration, two parameters,...
