DESCRIPTION:Dr. S. Gros\, MLS Intelligent Control Dynamics\, Glasgow\, Sco
 tland.\nThe concept of massive wind farm was developed over 30 years ago i
 n California as a response to the ongoing oil crisis. At the time\, the un
 derstanding of wind turbines dynamics was sparse\, and the first attempts 
 were catastrophic\, yielding a whole field of academic research. Through n
 umerous studies\, trial and errors\, the intricate dynamics inherent to wi
 nd turbines were slowly discovered and understood. Nowadays the field is g
 etting mature\, yet the demand placed on the wind turbine industry grows f
 ast and the machines size increases exponentially\, resulting in new dynam
 ic and control issues.\n\nIn this talk\, Sébastien Gros\, a R&D engineer 
 from the MLS Intelligent Control Dynamics team will give a brief introduct
 ion to wind turbine dynamics and control\, and present the future challeng
 es and perspectives.
