Wind Energy Challenges
Wind turbines are designed for a lifetime of at least 20 years or 120,000 operating hours, during which they must reliably withstand a wide variety of stresses and environmental conditions. Physical tests are not only time-consuming and expensive due to their “trial and error” approach, but are possible only in a very limited way due to the size of wind turbines. As a result, numerical simulation is becoming a mission critical process.
For almost 20 years, manufacturers in the wind energy industry have relied on MSC.Software’s solutions to overcome the numerous challenges related to the creation of ever more powerful systems. MSC’s products are employed to help design more reliable and better performing systems and they generate instrumental engineering data for the type certification process. Through extensive virtual testing of new designs, wind turbine, blade, and gearbox manufacturers are saving time and money, and designing more reliable systems by working with MSC.Software.
MSC solutions for the Wind Energy industry include:
- Accurate aero-dynamic loads calculation
- Full wind turbine system simulations including effects of controls
- Rotor blade modeling
- Gear box, bearing and full power train analysis
- Fatigue predictions
- Control systems
- Structural analysis for towers, nacelle, hub, foundation and other elements
- Off-shore structures, groundings and floating systems
