Gives a short description of the topics covered in the following chapters. The principles for limit states in wind the design of offshore structures are introduced. Further, the main working principles for horizontal-axis and vertical-axis wind turbines are discussed.
Covers the classical theory for conversion of wind energy into mechanical energy, including various methods for computing loads on aerofoils. These include momentum disc theory with and without rotation, lifting line and lifting surface approaches. Classical approaches for handling the unsteady effects are discussed and illustrated. Standard control approaches for fixed wind turbines operating below and above rated wind speed are discussed. The focus is on three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines.
