Praktikum Windkraftanlagen Simulation

What it is about

You acquire fundamentals in model-based simulation and design of modern multi-megawatt wind turbines. In the end you will be able to simulate wind turbines with the aeroelastic code Cp-Lambda in various operating states, evaluate their performance and loads, and identify design problems and develop improvement proposals.

What you will be able to do

• Understand models and methods for simulating multi-MW wind turbines
• Apply wind turbine aerodynamics and structural dynamics
• Know control strategies for the entire operating range
• Conduct and evaluate simulations with Cp-Lambda
• Perform load analyses according to international certification guidelines
• Identify design problems and propose constructive improvements

What the module consists of

• Vorlesung2 introductory theoretical lectures on aeroelasticity, wind turbine modeling and design
• Übungen/Praktikum7 computer-based practice sessions with discussion and correction of weekly assignments
• Betreuung/Sessions5 additional sessions to support the development of the final project
