WINDPOWER EXPERTISE
We
offer engineering services relating to all of the above-grade components of a
wind turbine system.
System Integration, Dynamics, &
Performance
Wetzel Engineering
offers particular expertise related to wind turbine system integration,
including:
·
Optimization of rotor specific loading for different wind classes
·
Analysis of system design choices such as power regulation
·
Selection of tower height for different wind classes.
·
Full-system dynamic simulations in support of
certification. We perform loads
simulations according to Design Load Conditions (DLCs) prescribed by IEC
Standard 61400-1 and the Requirements of Germanischer Lloyd to estimate
o
ultimate transient loads & blade deflections
o
fatigue-inducing fluctuating loads
o
steady and turbulent power performance
