TP IV.3 Flow conditions of future wind turbines

A sub-project in Innovation Area IV – System-oriented integration and aerodynamics of offshore wind turbines and wind farms

Offshore wind turbines are getting higher and higher and will soon reach completely different atmospheric wind conditions.

How these laminar-turbulent winds instead of the known turbulent winds affect turbine performance and loads as well as the wake is virtually unknown.

The aim is to record the complex flow dynamics, create initial forecasts for power, loads and, in particular, overruns, and finally check them.
