Mike Graham

Mike Graham is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, under the Faculty of Engineering. His work is centered on advanced control systems for wind turbines, particularly in the domain of smart rotor technology and aerodynamic load management.

His research focuses on improving wind turbine performance and reliability through innovative control strategies. Key areas include pitch control, trailing edge flaps, individual pitch control, and fault ride-through mechanisms. These efforts aim to reduce mechanical loads, enhance energy capture, and improve grid compatibility under fault conditions.

The publications highlight a consistent focus on control engineering applied to renewable energy systems, particularly wind turbines. The research integrates mechanical design with electrical control systems, emphasizing real-time adaptation and fault tolerance in smart rotor configurations.

• Comparison of individual pitch and smart rotor control strategies for load reduction (2014)
• Fault ride-through for a smart rotor DQ-axis controlled wind turbine with a jammed trailing edge flap (2014)
• Supplementing wind turbine pitch control with a trailing edge flap smart rotor (2014)
