State of the art of aerolastic codes for wind turbine calculations

Abstract

The technological development of modern wind turbines has been dependent on the parallel development of the computational skills of the designers. The combination of the calculation of the flow field around the wind turbine rotor - both far field and near field - and the calculation of the response of the wind turbine structure to the resulting, non-stationary air loads, also known as aero-elastic calculations have now reached a reasonable degree of maturity. At this expert meeting two main points may be clarified. To what level of accuracy can we now determine the behaviour of the different elements of a wind turbine, i.e. how well are we able to compute deflections, fluctuating loads and power output. Which are the main outstanding areas upon which our next research efforts should be focused. (EG)
