In this section an example of a typical course is shown.
Course content
An introduction to frequency based stability analysis of a wind turbine using the aeroelastic stability tool HAWCStab2. Furthermore, new and future features are presented.
Learning objectives
The course should enable the participant to:
- Set up a HAWCStab2 model for computation of a wind turbine. This includes correct input of geometry, structural and aerodynamic data and control.
- Perform structural, aeroelastic and closed loop modal analysis of a wind turbine.
- Tune a pitch variable speed control algorithm to the turbine.
