ESSENTIAL
Field testing to progress the assessment and mitigation of standstill vibrations
Publieke samenvatting / Public summary
Doelstelling
The goal of ESSENTIAL is to better understand the phenomenon of standstill vibrations, as an intermediate step towards confidently modelling these. This is done is by performing field measurements at standstill during storm conditions on a fully instrumented MW wind turbine, resulting in a database that can be used to progress aero-elastic modeling of modern, large wind turbines.
Korte omschrijving
An investigation is carried to explore to what extent recent model developments can contribute. The findings will be shared in a publication, highlighting the outcome and analysis of the field measurements. Furthermore, a workshop will be organized to disseminate the results.
Resultaat
The result of this project can be considered a building block towards consolidating an efficient but accurate simulation approach to model standstill conditions for large flexible wind turbines. With this in sight, improved design and mitigation of the vibrations can be explored, resulting in lower risks and less downtime offshore.
