Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...
The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread ...
A new system using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of embedded-control software releases keeps turbines up on the farm For its wind turbine control systems, Siemens’ engineers faced the challenge ...
Simulations with computational fluid dynamics show aerodynamic and loading effects on everything from a single turbine to complete wind farms. For years, CFD software has helped engineers optimize ...
Wind turbines may seem innocuous enough, but they have the potential to reshape the air birds fly through. In a recent ...
