Abstract
As the demand for cleaner-greener energy surges owing to more nations adopting Net Zero Emission by 2050, wind turbine (WT) technology is increasingly poised as one of the technologies to match the demand. Capacity building in the development of cost-effective WT tower with improved reliability and safety has become critical to delivering Net Zero mandate. This research demonstrates implementation of Taguchi Design of Experiment (DoE) in conjunction with Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) to optimise b [...]
