Course Overview
Structural modeling of a wind turbine with a limited number of DOFs, implementation of dynamic stall models, implementation of instationary BEM model, modeling of atmospheric turbulence, wind shear, numerical time integration of governing equations for motion, modern control of wind turbine.
Main Goal
To give a thorough insight to the structural and aerodynamic modelling of a wind turbine in order to calculate the aeroelastic response. To compute and analyse the time varying loads stemming from atmospheric turbulence, wind shear, yaw, tower shadow as well as gravity and inertial loads.
Skills To Be Gained
Gain skills in aeroelastic numerical simulation of wind turbines.
