Virtual Prototyping solutions for Wind energy
During their lifetime, wind turbines must reliably withstand a wide variety of stresses and environmental conditions. In order to test their strength, their design, and also validate the manufacturing process early in the development cycle, simulation is becoming essential for manufacturers. Indeed, physical tests are time consuming, expensive and only possible in limited circumstances due to the size of wind turbines.
ESI offers virtual prototyping software and services helping wind energy companies to address these challenges and understand the physics of the materials in order to developwind turbines faster and in a cost efficient way.
If you are looking to:
- Optimize the manufacturing process of wind turbines components (i.e.infusion of the composite blade orcasting of the nacelle frame)
- Check wind blade interaction with natural wind,
- Evaluate environmental radar effects on wind farms,
- And accurately predict loads and performance on overall structure as it is built
Then ESI can help you through software licensing as well as advanced consulting projects.
