Smart Rotor Modeling Aero-Servo-Elastic Modeling of a Smart Rotor with Adaptive Trailing Edge Flaps

A smart rotor is a wind turbine rotor that, through a combination of sensors, control units and actuators actively reduces the variation of the aerodynamic loads it has to withstand. Smart rotors feature a promising load alleviation potential, and might provide the technological breakthrough require...
