In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Engineers at Moog Inc. and wind turbine maker Made Tecnologias Renovables SA have produced a pitch control servo valve that governs blade pitch while eliminating external controls. The valve provides ...

A numerical optimization scheme was developed for the calculation of optimum pitch control laws for straight bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). It is shown that the optimum pitch control law ...

With over 350,000 wind turbines currently in use globally, wind continues to be one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. In 2021, 93.6 GW of new installations brought global cumulative ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...
