  Analysis of the Output Power in Offshore Bladeless Vibrational Wind Turbines

  By Diego Piqueras Sanz, Carlos Armenta-Déu, Jorge Contreras, Matilde Santos

  Abstract: This work focuses on studying and analyzing the power generation in offshore bladeless vibrational wind turbines. In previous work, we developed detailed research about the vibrational wind turbine design and configuration; in this new work, we analyze the energy supply from this type of turbine to achieve a better understanding of the behavior and potential of bladeless vibrational wind turbines (BVWT) as an additional power source in offshore wind farms. …

  Analysis of new Floating Offshore Wind Turbine under drag force operation

  By Carlos Armenta Déu, Diego Piqueras Sanz

  Abstract: The goal of this paper is the study and analysis of a new type of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), which operates under drag force instead of lifting force as the conventional FOWT. We simulate the wind turbine operation modifying the pitch angle to faithfully reproduce the behavior when submitted to waves’ movement. The analysis of the wind turbine performance is developed in a model at laboratory scale to control …
