Predicting wind turbine stability in general inflow PRESTIGE
Modern wind turbines can experience destructive fluid-induced vibrations. Cost reduction drives the development towards increasing blade length and flexibility, increasing the risk for such vibrations. The project will ensure that future turbines do not encounter instabilities.
PRESTIGE implements a new level of physics resolving models at three central industry partners, VESTAS, SIEMENS GAMESA and LM, capable of predicting these instabilities during the design phase. PRESTIGE will lower the cost for component replacement, enlarge service and installation periods, and promote future turbines with 5-10% increased annual energy production without the risk of aeroelastic instabilities.
