International Conference Wind Turbine Simulation, Testing and Validation

Cost pressure has been driving wind turbine innovation to new heights with ever longer blades and optimized drivetrain designs, tailored for every possible environment. Consequently, it is quite challenging to produce reliable long-term predictions on turbine field behavior, so park operators and investors can minimize risk and plan maintenance efforts.

Presentations of international experts for drivetrains and rotor blades provide information on their challenges and approaches for long-term predictions. The conference allows insider discussions on advanced testing and validation procedures and to get in touch with industry peers. Furthermore, interactions between testing and simulation, new test facilities as well as approaches for full-scale and component tests will be highlighted.

• Best ways to gain reliable data for large-scale wind turbine designs
• New tools and processes to reduce time and cost for testing
• Efficient strategies to integrate simulation into testing and validate designs early on
• Experience in full-scale testing to comply with certification
• Practical examples for new turbine designs: Simulation –Testing –Prototype
