Systems Engineering and Optimization
Our ambition is to bring systems engineering to wind and renewable energy park design, operation and control. By implementing holistic analysis and optimization approaches, we can increase the value and reduce the cost of energy of wind and renewable energy parks.
The section applies advanced systems engineering and optimization methods to multidisciplinary research that bridges key domains of wind and renewable energy. The SYS section focuses on modelling, analysis and optimal design of complex systems including wind and hybrid power plants. Research outcomes are implemented in software tools and incorporated into courses to the benefit of the broader wind energy community.
