- A new multidisciplinary approach for wind energy applications that merges advanced simulation capabilities and control design. By incorporating detailed aeroelastic effects into control design for the first time, it enables significant dynamic load reduction for large wind turbines (simulations suggest a 35% reduction). The work led to a £800k project to demonstrate findings with high-fidelity simulations at farm scale (EPSRC Grant EP/R007470/1), collaborations with TU Munich (Contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk) and Tsinghua University (FoEREF@ic.ac.uk), and an academic position at NTU Singapore for Ng.
