International Energy Agency (IEA) Implementing Agreement for Co-operation in the ResearchJanuary 29th, 2018
Task 40 is to coordinate international research and investigate the benefits of downwind turbine Technologies toward the reduction of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and proliferation of onshore and offshore wind plants. The Task is designed to capitalize on past experiences as well as recently developed computational capabilities. The focus will include offshore and onshore wind turbine with both floating and fixed bottom applications while investigating the relevant design conditions where downwind turbines might offer advantages. Key research aspects that will be studied include dynamic response, loads, controls, and impact on LCOE and so on. The Task will include an objective, harmonized approach to assessing the LCOE of downwind turbines based on select baseline turbine models and methods accepted by the participants. The work packages proposed below are intended to meet this scope.
