Multidisciplinary design principles for wind turbine rotors

MERWind

One of the aims of the project is to set up a multidisciplinary simulation environment for wind turbine rotors.

Goals

  • Multidisciplinary design environment for wind energy turbines
  • Development of guidelines for the integral design of wind power turbines

Contents

  • High-Fidelity aerodynamic computations using CFD-methods
  • Fluid-Structure coupled aeroelastic analysis via Multi-Body-Software
  • Structural design layout using a parametric blade model generator
  • Evaluation of the acoustic footprint of the rotor on the basis of CAA- computations
  • Consideration of manufacturing aspects and generation of a cost assessment tool
  • Evaluation of design sensitivities using surrogate models
