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.
Learning Outcomes
After completion of this course, you will be able to:
- + Write a computer code to determine the unsteady aerodynamic loads.
- + Implement a dynamic wake model.
- + Implement a dynamic stall model.
- + Implement a yaw model.
- + Use a software to generate atmospheric turbulence.
- + Implement a pitch controller.
- + Establish the equations of motion for a wind turbine construction.
- + Integrate the equations of motion including the coupling with the aerodynamic loads.
- + Explain the contribution of the different models on the resulting time series and validate the code.
- + Verify that the structural and aerodynamic models are coupled correctly.
