# Time-domain dynamic simulation of a wind turbine including yaw motion for power prediction. A new wind turbine simulation tool for a time-domain dynamic simulation was developed in this study. For the wind turbine model, the NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was used. Using measured data, the developed tool was applied to predict annual energy production from the wind turbine at four different sites in a complex terrain of Korea. The results were compared with those predicted by a commercial frequency-domain program widely used to predict the annual energy production from a wind turbine. Without a yaw control, the predictions from the proposed tool were close to those from the commercial wind farm design program. The results of this study suggest that the power production from a wind turbine can be predicted by the proposed time-domain wind turbine simulation tool with a proper yaw algorithm which is not available in commercial frequency-domain programs.

As offshore structures become more complex, the computational models also become larger, leading to more expensive analyses. Choosing the right methodology for the design phase is critical, and the key is to minimize computational cost while maintaining required accuracy. This is a significant challenge for floating offshore wind substructures. We've worked closely with partners and customers to provide new solutions to this challenge.
Frequency Domain Methods
The frequency domain uncoupled method is the quickest method available in Sesam, typically used for initial sizing, early design, or prototype phases. This method involves a hydrodynamic and finite element analysis of the wave-induced structure response for specified wave directions and frequencies. It accounts for moorings and includes the wind turbine represented as a point mass, with wind loads provided by the manufacturer for fatigue (FLS) or ultimate limit state (ULS) analysis. While fast, this method has some limitations and assumptions that need consideration.
Time Domain Methods
Sesam offers three time domain workflows that balance performance and accuracy differently. In general, time domain methods are more accurate than frequency domain methods because they consider the simultaneous effects of wind and wave loading.
1. Time Domain Direct Load Generation Method: The most general method, generating hydrodynamic pressure and Morrison loads directly in the time domain before mapping them to a finite element structure. This method explores nonlinear hydrodynamic effects and dynamic local structure response, serving as a baseline for using faster methods.
2. Time Domain Load Reconstruction Method: A faster method, reconstructing pressure using results from coupled analysis combined with precomputed pressure components associated with unit waves and motions. It allows for dynamic or quasi-static local structure response but cannot include nonlinear hydrodynamic effects.
3. Time Domain Response Reconstruction Method: The fastest time domain method, reconstructing local quasi-static structure response using coupled analysis results and precomputed responses associated with unit waves, motions, and loads. This method avoids separate finite element analysis, reducing simulation time from hours to minutes for each design load case.

# Improving wind power prediction with advanced temporal and frequency domain processing combined with error correction. Accurate prediction of wind power is crucial for grid scheduling and the integration of renewable energy, given its significant temporal variability and nonlinear characteristics. This study proposed a multi-module integrated model for wind power forecasting based on time–frequency domain analysis, aiming to enhance prediction accuracy and reliability. The mode9l combined several advanced techniques, including Wavelet Convolutions (WTC), Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM), Time Series Lightweight Adaptive Network (TSLANet), Frequency Enhanced Channel Attention Mechanism (FECAM), and Fast Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (FastKAN). Each module was designed to capture distinct characteristics in wind power data, such as local frequency features, temporal dependencies, global contextual information, frequency-domain features, and complex nonlinear relationships. Through the integration of these modules, the model achieved high-precision predictions in multi-scale and dynamic environments. Experimental results showed that the model delivered exceptional performance across various test scenarios, significantly improving the handling of multi-scale, complex nonlinear, and global dependency issues in wind power forecasting, demonstrating considerable application potential.
