Subject

Within the WINSENT project set up aero-servo-elastic simulations to validate numerical multi-body models of wind turbines for research turbines.

My main research focus concerns electro-mechanical interactions in wind turbines. This research is motivated by the current trends towards ever higher rated power of wind turbines. Large wind turbines with rated power of 10 MW and more lead to new challenges in system design. In the case of gearless turbines, the generator often has a diameter of 10 m and more and weighs around 300t. At the same time, the generator has so far been considered an idealized component. This means that it is assumed that only torques are transmitted between the drive train and the electromagnetic field. The size of the generators leads to the desire to rethink the design in order to save mass. Before analysing the mass saving potential in detail, clarification is needed for boundary conditions. It has to be analysed when interactions between the electromagnetic field and the mechanical behaviour of the drive train transverse to the direction of rotation can arise and whether they would become relevant for the design of the wind turbine.
