Numerical Optimisation for Wind Turbine Design, Based on Aero-Elastic Analysis

摘要

This paper describes the development of the HATOPT code which has been madeduring the SITEOPT project. The HATOPT code is based on the BLADOPT code which did not make use of a sophisticated aero-elastic code but a simplified quasi static rotor performance code. The HATOPT code does not make use of the cost model of BLADOPT but a cost model made by the University of Sunderland.
