This topic covers a wide range of aspects, from the research on aerodynamics and control design to the industrial applications about on-site wind turbine performance control and monitoring. This Special Issue collects seven research papers about several innovative aspects of the multi-faceted topic of wind turbine power optimization technology. The seven research papers deal respectively with the aerodynamic optimization of wind turbine blades through Gurney flaps; optimization of blade design for large offshore wind turbines; control design optimization of large wind turbines through the analysis of the competing objectives of energy yield maximization and fatigue loads minimization; design optimization of a tension leg platform for floating wind turbines; innovative methods for the assessment of wind turbine optimization technologies operating on site; optimization of multiple wake interactions modeling through the introduction of a mixing coefficient in the energy balance method; and optimization of the dynamic stall control of vertical-axis wind turbines through plasma actuators. This Special Issue presents remarkable research activities in the timely subject of wind turbine power optimization technology, covering various aspects. The collection is believed to be beneficial to readers and contribute to the wind power industry.History of engineering and technologybicsscactive flow controlaerodynamicsanalytical modelANNblade optimizationcontrol and optimizationDBD plasma actuationdrive-shaft torsiondynamic stallFASTfloating offshore wind turbineflow controlGurney flaphydrodynamic motion responsemixing coefficientmodified Morison equationnonlinear economic-model predictive controlomega arithmetic methodPSO algorithmstructurestension leg platformtime-domain coupled modeltower fatigueturbulence intensityvariable-speed wind turbinevertical-axis wind turbinewake interaction modelwind energywind farmwind farm efficiencywind turbinewind turbinesHistory of engineering and technologyCastellani Francescoauth537756Astolfi DavideauthBOOK9910404077203321Wind Turbine Power Optimization Technology3035058UNINA
