Abstract
This article describes a multi-disciplinary optimization and analysis tool for wind turbines
that is based on the open-source framework OpenMDAO. Interfaces to several simulation
codes have been implemented which allows for a wide variety of problem formulations
and combinations of models. In this article concurrent aeroelastic optimization of a 10
MW wind turbine rotor is carried out with respect to material distribution distribution
and planform. The optimizations achieve up to 13% mass reduction while maintaining the
same power production compared to the baseline DTU 10MW RWT.
