Overview

Project Description: A multidisciplinary team of three primary universities (Rutgers University, University of Michigan, and Brigham Young University), experts from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and two international collaborators (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, and Technical University of Denmark, TUD) recently won an award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Aerodynamic Turbines Lighter and Afloat with Nautical Technologies and Integrated Servo-control (ATLANTIS) Program. Our project is one of 13 new projects to develop new technologies for floating offshore wind turbines, or wind farms, using the discipline of control co-design. The program description can be seen here: https://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=arpa-e-programs/atlantis .
The goal of our team is to develop a computationally efficient mixed-fidelity control co-design optimization framework for floating offshore wind turbine design. Our project will yield a modular framework to support the broad mission of the DOE ARPA-E ATLANTIS Program.
