The growing size and flexibility of modern wind turbines are pushing the boundaries of conventional design approaches.
High-fidelity multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) promises to capture complex multiphysics interactions and enable
novel concepts, but its application in the wind energy field has been limited by computational and implementation costs. My
research has improved on an in-house-developed framework to overcome these problems and perform the first large-scale
rotor design studies using high-fidelity MDO.
