PublikacjaThe concept of offshore wind power plants has been well developed in many European countries. There is no such thing as design of offshore wind power plants according to national tradition. The main problem is the lack of standards and guidelines. Ones being applied are Scandinavian or American methods which are not fully adapted to the conditions of the Baltic Sea. The article focuses on the monopile design, as it is currently the...

Aerodynamic excitations generated in turbine shroud clearance determined bymeans of neural networks
PublikacjaSiły aerodynamiczne generowane w uszczelnieniach turbinowych z reguły opisywane są modelem liniowym. Przy dużych drganiach wirnika sposób ten daje niezbyt dokładne wyniki. Zaproponowano wykorzystanie sieci neuronowych do określania sił ciśnieniowych powstających w uszczelnieniu. Wyniki porównano z badaniami eksperymentalnymi.
