Load monitoring

Load and motion monitoring Wind and waves develop enormous forces on offshore wind turbines. The accumulated fatigue loads on the turbine as a whole are not recorded. However, a continuous…

Controls

Controls An important design goal for large wind turbines is to reduce fatigue and extreme loads on the support structure and blades through control actions.This is a challenging task, because…

Sound

Sound measurements The Stuttgart Wind Energy (SWE) chair at the University of Stuttgart has at its disposal measuring equipment to carry out noise measurements. This includes a suitably equipped noise…

Load and Power Measurements

Load and power measurements SWE has carried out many power performance measurements for research and development. These measurements are enabled by SWE's expertise in atmospheric and structural measurements, and portable…

Rotor blades

Wind turbine rotor blades frequently exceed 80 m in length. Composite materials offer enormous weight savings along with excellent fatigue properties.The main components of rotor blades are a load-carrying web-spar-structure and…

Wind Turbine Dynamics

Wind Turbine Dynamics Load Simulation WindForS members use many different software tools to simulate loads on onshore and offshore wind turbines. The spectrum goes from reduced models for longer simulated…
