Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

Creator:

Miller, Annalise M.

Abstract:

Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

Optimizing shared mooring and anchoring strength for floating offshore wind turbine arrays

Creator:

Devin, Michael C.

Abstract:

Energy from offshore wind could provide substantial power generation if further utilized. One area of significant research focus is in developing floating offshore wind devices, which would allow for wind energy to be gathered in deep water where driven monopile turbines are infeasible. However, floating offshore wind is not currently...

Floating Offshore Wind Array Systems Optimization off the US West Coast using an Extended Pattern Search Algorithm

Creator:

Forinash, Caitlin P.

Abstract:

The large wind resource off the United States West Coast has the potential to generate wind power for millions of homes, yet the high cost of energy for offshore wind power compared to traditional sources has slowed the development of offshore wind farms in the US. The four studies presented...
