    Multi-Body Dynamic Analysis and Vibration Control of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
    (2024) Mitra, Arka
    Horizontal axis wind turbines have gained prominence in the recent past as an efficient power-generating device, particularly in areas with abundant wind resources. Varying forces on turbines influence wind farm power production and efficiency in different geographical regions. These wind turbines are categorized as onshore and offshore based on their locations, with onshore being more accessible and easily connected to local power grids. However, onshore wind speeds fluctuate due to geographical features, requiring detailed analysis to ensure consistent wind availability and minimal impact on settlements and the environment. In contrast, offshore turbines are more profitable in the long run due to factors like steady wind flow, ample space for large wind farms, and less noise pollution. Yet, offshore construction, installation, and grid connection costs depend on water depth and distance from the shore. Despite offering more power than onshore turbines of similar size, offshore turbines face a harsher environment, demanding rigorous design for safe and sustained operation. Structural vibrations are significant in the marine environment due to combined wind and wave effects.
