Wind Turbine Aeroelasticity

• Write a computer code to determine the unsteady aerodynamic loads
• Implement a dynamic wake model
• Implement a dynamic stall model
• Implement a yaw model
• Use a software to generate atmospheric turbulence
• Implement a pitch controller
• Establish the equations of motion for a wind turbine construction
• Integrate the equations of motion including the coupling with the aerodynamic loads
• Explain the contribution of the different models on the resulting time series and validate the code
• Verify that the structural and aerodynamic models are coupled correctly

Structural modeling of a wind turbine with a limited number of DOFs, implementation of dynamic stall models, implementation of instationary BEM model, modeling of atmospheric turbulence, wind shear, numerical time integration of governing equations for motion, modern control of wind turbine.
