An approach to multi-objective life cycle cost optimization of wind turbine tower structures

An approach to multi-objective life cycle cost optimization of wind turbine tower structures

Thesis (MEng)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013. === ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Support tower structures of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) are major cost items and by means of integrated design and optimization, the Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) can be reduced substantially. In this thesis, Horizontal Axis Wi...
