Wind-induced 4P harmonic excitation and blade vibrations in wind turbines: Sensitivity to tower flexibility and yaw-system behaviour

The interaction between operational harmonics and structural modes can affect vibration levels, fatigue loading, and structural integrity in modern wind turbines. This study investigates the sensitivity of blade vibration to tower flexibility and yaw-system behaviour in horizonta...

Evaluating a compressed air energy storage (CAES) system with high-temperature concentrated solar power (CSP): Techno-economic and sensitivity analysis

This study assesses the novel integration of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) with high-temperature air-based Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), enabling both electricity storage and generation, as well as supplying medium-temperature waste heat to nearby industrial processes. T...
