Turbine Response

Our core scientific expertise is turbine response, aero-elasticity, control and the process of validating turbine response models. Additionally, we assure that other relevant models, for example those related to inflow, wakes, and hydrodynamics, are covered with the right balance between accuracy and computational speed that is specific for time domain response modelling work flow. The RSP section develops HAWC2, HAWCStab2, the DTU Wind Energy Controller and a suite of related software models and tools that are relevant for both our research projects and our commercial users. The Development of the response models and their software implementation is often executed in close collaboration with colleagues form other sections across the department. Our application studies involve load analysis of wind turbines (both on- and off-shore, bottom fixed and floating, standalone and in a wind farm), aero-elastic stability, controller design and the validation against measurements of our models.
