High reliability of large wind turbines via computational modelling
Danish-Chinese collaborative project
"HIGH RELIABILITY OF LARGE WIND TURBINES VIA COMPUTATIONAL MICROMECHANICS BASED ENHANCEMENT OF WIND TURBINE BLADE MATERIALS PERFORMANCES"
(2011-2016)
supported by Innovationsfonden (Denmark) and Ministry of Science and Technology of China
Coordinators:
Leon Mishnaevsky Jr., Dr. habil., Senior Scientist, DTU
Chinese coordinator: Professor Hongwei Zhou, CUMTB
Objectives:
The efficiency and practical usability of wind energy technology depend on the reliability and lifetime of wind turbines.In order to ensure the reliable work of future wind turbines and necessary expansion of the wind energy sector, strong and resistant wind turbine materials with improved properties are necessary. In this project, the scientific basis for the development of advanced, strong composites for wind blades will be developed, on the basis of computational experiments and microstructural properties control.
