Accurate modelling of tomorrows wind turbines
The Aero-elasticity, Control, and Hydrodynamics section at DTU specializes in improving wind turbine performance. They use advanced research in aero-elasticity, control strategies, and hydrodynamics to assess and optimize turbines. Their main expertise includes aero-elasticity, control systems, and hydrodynamics. They maintain engineering software and conduct studies on load analysis for floating wind turbines, aero-elastic stability, and controller design.
In industrial applications, they analyze on- and offshore wind turbines, contributing to load analysis for new concepts, optimizing controller design for performance and load reduction, and developing real-time data assimilation for aero-elastic response prediction. They address cold climate, icing conditions, and control strategies for floating wind turbines. Their work directly benefits the wind energy industry, by enhancing turbine performance, load management, and overall efficiency and reliability.
