Abstract
This study explores the potential benefits of considering Lidar-assisted control (LAC) at the first stages of wind turbine design. The proposed methodology starts with a load analysis of several reference wind turbines to understand which design constraints can be influenced by the use of LAC. The blade and tower of each analyzed model are redesigned considering LAC-induced reductions in key driving quantities. Preliminary results suggest modest reductions in LCOE with potentially significant benefits limited to the tower. The study also discusses the requirements on LAC system purchase and O&M costs, for both onshore and offshore machines, to achieve a reduction in LCOE.
