The objective is to improve the design basis for large wind turbines by measuring wind and turbulence profiles at high altitude above a flat ground using modern instruments. The project will study
The vision is that the increased research on main wind turbine uncertainties and risk & reliability will lead to less conservative designs and more cost-efficient wind energy. Therefore, careful
The usage of new reinforcement fibre and resin systems allows for novel forms of blade design, cost optimisation and production methods that significantly reduces the production time.
Design and planning of wind turbines involves considerable uncertainties related to estimating the energy production and to assessment of loads and load carrying capacities.
The project aimed at studying the effect of inflow turbulence in blade calculations by using CFD and with several Delayed Detached-Eddy simulations (DDES) for blade profiles, both profiles in free
The project focused on 12 MW wind turbines, i.e. the next generation of multi MW wind turbines being developed for offshore wind farms. These gigantic wind turbines with hub heights of 170 m and rotor
