"MMW wind turbine control & modelling of airborne applications"

Dr. Sebastien Gros,
MLS-Control, Glasgow, UK

Abstract

As they grow in size and power, the dynamics of multi-megawatts (MMW) wind turbines become more intricate and complex, resulting in new control challenges. In the first part of this presentation, the dynamics specific to MMW wind turbines together with the classical control solutions will be briefly presented. The more specific problem of emergency shut-down procedures and an optimization-based solution to fatigue reduction will be detailed. In the second part of this presentation, two specific airborne applications (a rotary-wing UAV and a large-aspect ratio aircraft) and the adopted modelling approaches will be briefly presented.

Newsflash

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
