Overordnede kursusmål
To introduce the participant to various numerical tools developed
for wind energy and to provide the necessary knowledge for solving
an advanced wind energy related problem with one of these tools.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
- List the different numerical tools used in DTU Wind Energy and
their typical applications.
- Explain the basics of selected tools and their operational
envelopes.
- Illustrate the concept of model verification and
validation.
- Choose a numerical tool for a given application.
- Apply a selected tool on a predefined setup.
- Set up a selected tool for solving a given problem.
- Analyse the sensitivity of different setups for a given
case.
- Select the optimal setup for a given problem.
- Evaluate the uncertainties of the results predicted by a
selected tool.
Kursusindhold
This course starts with a general introduction to numerical tools
and modelling in wind energy. It includes an overview of numerical
tools in wind energy and the concepts of physical world vs model
world, measurements vs modelling, resolution and scale in
modelling, verification and validation of models, sensitivity
analysis, uncertainty quantification, rules, guidelines and best
engineering practice.
You will select and receive specific training in one of the
following three numerical toolboxes:
• Wind Resource and Site Assessment for Wind Farm Design
(WAsP, WAsP Engineering, Windfarm Assessment Tool).
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (EllipSys2D/3D).
• Loads and Aero-elasticity of Wind Turbines (HAWC2).
Each toolbox provides training in different parts of the software
through exercises and quizzes, but also contains a comprehensive
case study where all the elements are employed together.
