Daan van der Hoek
PhD – Wind farm control and experimental validation
Daan is working on the development of wind farm control algorithms, focusing primarily on combining data-driven and model-based control methods for robust performance. Ultimately, the goal is to validate these control algorithms through wind tunnel experiments.
Unai Gutierrez Santiago
PhD – Dynamic modelling of gearboxes
Unai is developing data-driven dynamic models of wind turbine gearboxes. The main objectives are to improve the condition monitoring of gearbox components and to increase the performance and lifetime of the gearbox. His professional career has been primarily related to the testing and validation of wind turbine gearboxes at Siemens Gamesa where he has worked for more than 13 years.
Livia Brandetti
PhD – Digital Twin of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Livia has a background in Sustainable Energy Engineering, with a particular focus on Wind Energy. During her PhD research, a digital twin for a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) will be developed. The main outcome is the resolution of actual operation states and performance of the VAWT by adding real-time data and sensors inputs.
Atindriyo Kusumo Pamososuryo
PhD – Model Predictive Control for Wind Turbine
With a background in Systems and Control and former research experience in Individual Pitch Control (IPC), Atindriyo is planned to work in the research of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for wind turbines. He will start his PhD research in January 1st, 2020.
Maarten van den Broek
PhD – Wind-farm control
Maarten has a background in Aerospace and Biomechanical Engineering, with experience in dynamical modelling and control applications. He is working on dynamical wind-farm modelling for development of closed-loop wind-farm control.
Claudia Muscari
PhD – Wind-farm control
Claudia has a background in Mechanical and Energy Engineering. She started a joint PhD between TU Delft and Politecnico di Milano in November 2019. Right now she is focusing on the development of numerical methods reliably modeling wind turbines wakes dynamics as a tool for optimized solutions for wind farm control.
