Design and optimization of multi-MW offshore direct-drive wind turbine electrical generator structures using generative design techniques (2023)
Journal Article
Gonzalez-Delgado, D., Jaen-Sola, P., & Oterkus, E. (2023). Design and optimization of multi-MW offshore direct-drive wind turbine electrical generator structures using generative design techniques. Ocean Engineering, 280, Article 114417. https://doi.org/1

The use of generative design as an alternative to typical structural optimization techniques opens the door to new methods of manufacturing. In this study, generative design techniques were used as an automated iterative process with an extensive set...
