Our in-house software SIWEC has been ugraded to simulate floating wind turbines including wave interactions. This upgrade has already been sucessfully utilized in a current project.
A tension leg platform is currently implemented. This is modeled as a rigid body with six degrees of freedom so that there is no loss of simulation speed. […]

Simulation tool SiWEC upgraded to vertical axis wind turbines. Our in-house software SiWEC has been upgraded to establish an efficient simulation of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT).
A key challange for a VAWT load calculation is the underlying aero-elastic model. SiWEC currently includes a model with double induction for front and rear passage of […]

The development of the 2.1 MW wind energy turbine for the chinese company GeoHo Energy is finalized. Despite slightly higher power and bigger tortor diameter by about 10 m the top mass has increased by 5 % only. The energy production could strongly be enhanced. The contruction of the prototype is running.
