Clark''s current focus is on the control of wind-turbine generators and wind plants, modeling of WTGs for both cycle-by-cycle and fundamental frequency analysis, and analyzing the impact of significant
of wind turbine generators applied in modern wind power plants. Various wind turbine generator designs, based on classification by machine type and speed control capabilities, are discussed along with
Each type of tower has its own advantages depending on size of the turbine, type of terrain, average wind velocity, turbulence level of wind in that wind farm, etc.
The sizing tool mainly considers available torque, mechanical power, normal and shear stresses, material properties, and costs to customize designs of variable-speed wind turbine generators by
The Wind Energy Team at Iowa State University (ISU) has designed and built a turbine for the DOE Collegiate Wind Competition (CWC). Over the course of two semesters, the team has worked to

The generator of the DeepWind Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) concept is reviewed, discussing special challenges, detailing the function specification, briefly presenting the design tool, some
SPECIAL CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEEPWIND VAWT SYSTEMFUNCTION SPECIFICATION OF THE GENERATORAbnormal operationDESIGN TOOL AND SOME RESULTS OBTAINEDRotating Force WaveThe task of designing a low cost DeepWind system seems easy as first impressions of the concept offer a simple design with few components. However, basic challenges exist: the turbine operates at variable speed and needs overspeed protection; the generator environment is deep under the sea water, the 2-bladed rotor generates a twice per revolutionSee more on backend.orbit.dtu.dkabb [PDF]
