2) Wind Farm Layout Optimization Problem

3) Wake Aerodynamics

Dear Amy,

Why don't you try Wind Energy Conversion Systems with Energy Storage in Reduced load Cases.

Have a look at Wind Engineering Vol.20, No.1, 1996 and Vol.21, No.6, 1997.

Best wishes,

N. Kehayas

I realize you are most interested in larger machines. However, generating energy closer to where it will be used makes more sense for redundancy, resiliency, and fortifying distribution networks. There needs to be a high-resolution (~10-100m) data (wind speed, direction) collected schema for small wind turbines in high roughness (urban, built) environments.

See NREL's 2016 report, "Deployment of Wind Turbines in the Built Environment: Risks, Lessons, and Recommended Practices". https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy16osti/65622.pdf, and review the results of the 2008-2009 Warwick Wind Trials (in your part of the world, Midlands of the UK) and the results of the 2009 Zeeland Small Wind Trial. http://www.ingreenious.com/images/ISWC%202009%20090410.pdf

Dear Amy,

Study numericall the effect of shadawing coming from blade to another which happen betwwen the blades and reduce the turbine rotation.

1) Deep sea floating platform with vertical axis wind turbine

2) Deep sea floating platform interaction with horizontal axis turbines

3) Design and cost optimization of small/medium wind turbines for off-grid conditions in low wind speed sites

To Domenico's suggestions, I would add:

Vibration effects on the longevity of blades made from various materials such as aluminium, carbon composites, etc., and possibly hybrids made by using different materials laminated at different spanwise stations.

1. DC collection network for offshore wind plants,

2. Wind speed estimation.

All the best..

I propose the following topic in this matter: Predictive analysis of electricity production from wind turbines in a specific geographical area before deciding whether to build a wind farm. The use of Big Data Analytics and Business Intelligence technologies when conducting the aforementioned predictive analysis.
