A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen Sola, P., Mcdonald, A. S., & Oterkus, E. (2015, November). A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains. Presented at European Wind Energy Association, EWEA 2015

Buoyant airborne wind turbines are devices capable of harnessing stronger winds at higher altitudes and with their automated and rapidly deployable system they are suited to niche applications such as emergency power generation. Although much of the... Read More about A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains.

Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen-Sola, P., & McDonald, A. S. (2014, September). Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines. Presented at 3rd Renewable Power Generation Conference (RPG 2014), Naples, Italy

Wind turbine direct-drive generator structures are analysed in order to optimise and reduce mass. A method for modelling key stiffness parameters including a magnetic air-gap stiffness is outlined. Different approaches are used to parametrically calc... Read More about Structural Analysis and Characterization of Radial Flux PM Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines.

Adaptive Dynamic Control of a Wind Generator (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen-Sola, P., Anaya-Lara, O., & Dominguez-Navarro, J. A. (2013, September). Adaptive Dynamic Control of a Wind Generator. Presented at 9th EAWE PhD seminar in Wind Energy in Europe, Uppsala University Campus Gotland, Sweden

The main aim of the present project is to obtain a better understanding of the dynamic control of a wind turbine. To accomplish this, an adaptive dynamic controller was developed and connected to a wind DFIG Simulink model. In order to demonstrate th...
