Learning Outcomes

The aim of the module is the deepening and practical application of knowledge in the field of wind energy, based on the modules "Wind Energy - Fundamentals"("Windenergie-Grundlagen") and "Wind Energy - Project / Deepening"("Windenergie-Projekt/Vertiefung"). Participating students deepen their understanding about the aerodynamic and structural design requirements of wind turbines through practical examples. After a successful attendance of the course, the students will have an in-depth knowledge of the field of design, simulation and certification of wind power plants. Participating students learn about independent organization of projects and self organisation within smaller teams. The course is principally designed to impart: Technical skills 40%, methodological skills 20%, system skills 20%, social skills 20%

Content

The course "Design and Simulation of Wind Turbines" is about the active transfer of knowladge about the process of design , simulation and certification of horizontal axis wind turbines. Throughout the semester, the 4 steps in wind turbine design (Aerodynamic design - Aerodynamic Simulation - Structural Design - Aeroelastic Simulation) will be covered using examples of research wind turbines (NREL5MW, DTU10MW). Each seminar is divided into three parts: Part 1. An input by the instructur about aerodynamic, structural and aeroelastic design and simulation methologies and principal design theories. Part 2. A written exercise carried out by the participating students in order to deepen the understanding of part I and discuss uncertainaties. Part 3. A supervised programming tasks in design and simulation of wind turbines based on the aquired knowledge of part 1 and part 2. The software used within the seminar are "QBlade"(Wind Turbine Design and Simulation - developed at TU Berlin) as well as a selection of pre- and postprocessing tools for aeroelastic wind turbine simulation (FAST, IECWind, PDAP). Through application examples, simulations and supervised programming tasks, the students are given competences in the independent handling of the wind turbine design software "QBlade". The course covers airfoil selection, aerodynamic & structural blade design and aeroelastic simulations using the NREL software FAST - Code (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures and Turbulence). The students attending this course will be learning the basic design methods of horizontal axis wind turbines and carry out certification-relevant Design Load Case simulations according to the DIN 61400. Existing knowledge from previous lectures is deliberately deepened and expanded. In addition, the course prepares the participating students for assignments in the area of wind energy research by dealing with scientific-oriented questions.

Workload and Credit Points

Aeroelastic Simulation of Wind Turbines (IV):

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Attendance	15.0	4.0h	60.0h
Pre/post processing	15.0	8.0h	120.0h
			180.0h(~6 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 180.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 6 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The seminar is split into three parts. Part 1: Lecture/Input from the instructor Part 2: Applied calculation example about aerodynamic and structural theories treated in part I Part 3: Supervised programming task based on part 1 and part 2. The focusof the seminar is working and discussing in small groups, whereby the independent scientific work, presentations, preparation of project reports as well as the independent elaboration of scientific content beyond frontal teaching plays an important role.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

The course does not provide the basics of the wind energy and fluid dynamics but deepenes existing knowledge and builds upon it. Therefore the successful completion of the modules "Wind Energy - Basics"("Windenergie - Grundlagen"), "Wind Energy - Project / Deepening"("Windenergie - Projekt/Vertiefung") and "Fluid Dynamics I + II"("Strömungslehre I+II") are recommended but not mandatory .

Mandatory requirements for the module test application:

This module has no requirements.
