Objectives:
To develop innovative system designs, advanced controller strategies and methodologies to assess innovations at the subsystem and turbine level and as appropriate for the external conditions for large multi-MW turbines in offshore wind farms.
Work package 1 focuses on conceptual design of wind turbines in the range 10 MW -20 MW and serves as the integrating work package which assembles the component innovations at the wind turbine level and assesses their performance. The key performance indicators, environmental conditions, design drivers and turbine control systems are developed within this work package.
