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.ANNDBD plasma actuationaerodynamicsvertical-axis wind turbinePSO algorithmvariable-speed wind turbinewind turbinewind energyanalytical modelwind farm efficiencyomega arithmetic methodwake interaction modeltower fatiguefloating offshore wind turbinedynamic stallnonlinear economic-model predictive controlhydrodynamic motion responseactive flow controlcontrol and optimizationwind farmblade optimizationtension leg platformstructuresflow controlGurney flaptime-domain coupled modeldrive-shaft torsionmixing coefficientmodified Morison equationwind turbinesFASTturbulence intensityCastellani Francescoauth537756Astolfi DavideauthBOOK9910404077203321Wind Turbine Power Optimization Technology3035058UNINA
