In the course of five dense days we will start with the basics of wind turbine modeling, simulation and load evaluation, learn how to generate simplified models for control, develop a fully functional model predictive controller for all operating regions and finish by implementing this controller to run in closed loop with OpenFAST. The course will alternate between two lectures and two hands-on exercises per day. Students will learn simulation and control design challenges relevant to both industrial development and academic research.
