Taeseong Kim

Taeseong Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on wind turbine design, aeroelasticity, hydrodynamics, and control systems, with a particular emphasis on floating offshore wind turbines and icing effects. He leads major projects such as the Horizon Europe-funded NEXTgenT, aiming to develop over 25 MW offshore wind turbine rotors. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable and clean energy.

Kim’s expertise includes rotor dynamics, blade structural analysis, and advanced simulation tools. He has pioneered innovations like segmented blade concepts and partial pitch control systems for large turbines. His research integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and machine learning for structural health monitoring and damage detection.

Key projects include DTWO (federated digital twins for offshore wind) and DigiWind (digital masters training in wind energy systems). He collaborates internationally through initiatives like IEA Wind Task 54 on cold-climate wind energy. His publications span aeroelastic stability, icing simulation, and hydrodynamic control strategies, with over 96 peer-reviewed articles and 19 active/funded projects.

Kim’s work addresses challenges in turbine stability, load reduction, and environmental resilience, positioning him as a leader in advancing next-generation wind energy systems.
