SUMMARY:Vortrag von Prof. Lucy Pao
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lucy Pao\nElectrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering Department\nUniversity of Colorado Boulder\nBoulder, CO, USA\n\n\n  \nMonday 2024-06-24 4 p.m.\nIST Seminar Room 2.255 - Pfaffenwaldring 9 - Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen  \nAbstract\nWind energy is among the fastest-growing sources of electrical energy worldwide. Compared to\nland-based wind energy, offshore wind energy has the advantages of increased wind resource\navailability and consistency, proximity to major population centers, and enabling larger-scale\nturbines. As such, over the last decade, installed offshore wind power capacity has grown at a\nphenomenal average rate of 33% per year. Currently, more than 99% of installed offshore wind\ncapacity consists of fixed-bottom wind turbines in shallow waters (<60m deep).  Globally,\nhowever, the majority of offshore wind resources are over water depths greater than 60m. Floating\nwind turbines are better suited in such deep waters. Though, compared to fixed-bottom wind\nturbines, floating wind turbines are more dynamic and exhibit potential instabilities, which\nrequire advanced control methods to ensure a safe and efficient operation. Beyond their existing\nobjectives of maximizing power production while minimizing structural loads, floating wind turbine\ncontrollers must also avoid large platform oscillations and accommodate ocean wave and current\ndisturbances. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities in the\ncontrol of floating offshore wind energy systems. I will also summarize some of our recent work in\ndeveloping and analyzing multi-loop feedback control approaches aimed at improving power quality,\nregulating the generator speed, and/or mitigating structural loading.  \nBiographical Information\nLucy Pao is a Palmer Endowed Chair Professor in the Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering\nDepartment at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), USA. She is currently on sabbatical\nand is a Visiting Scholar at the Eindhoven University of Technology  from January to August\n2024. She earned B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University,\nUSA. Her research has primarily focused on engineering control systems, with applications ranging\nfrom atomic force microscopes to multi-megawatt wind energy systems. She is a Fellow of the\nInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Federation of\nAutomatic Control (IFAC), and she is a foreign corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of\nSciences. She is a Fellow of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), a joint\ninstitute between the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory and CU Boulder, and she is also an\nIFAC Pavel J. Nowacki Distinguished Lecturer.\n\n  \n
