Hello Everyone,
I am a masters student currently finishing my thesis. The objective of the thesis is to increase vertical axis wind turbine efficiency by adding winglets and optimizing the winglets design parameters to maximize efficiency (using DOE).
The design parameters of these winglets consist of 7 continuous parameters, and 1 categorial parameter (2-level).
I am lost on how to proceed after finishing the 22 runs of DSD (I still have few runs to finish but I am planning ahead because I am running out of time). I've read that augmenting the design is a good approach to fit an RSM, but can someone help me on that? Especially that I have a categorial factor I am not sure how to fit a RSM with this factor (should there be 2 equations each for a level of this categorial factor, or combined in 1 equation?)
Thank you so much for your help!
