MareWint Opening Lectures
Opening lectures will take place at the Marine Technology Centre in Tronheim on September 2-6
We tentatively intend to start at lunch on Monday September 2. and end on Friday September 6. at about 13:00 so that you will be able to return home on Friday.
Preliminary program:
Monday Sept. 2: afternoon: Overview of the Mare-Wint program and a general overview of Wind Energy and Wind Turbines
Tuesday Sept 3. Friday Sept. 6:
Introductory technical presentations on state of the art and future challenges on topics such as
Design og wind turbines
- wind resources and wind physics
- basic concepts of wind energy conversion
- basic safety aspects
- rotor concepts (horizontal axis, vertical axis); blade design
- drivetrains (mechanical - gear based, hydraulic transmission, direct drive...)
- generator, and other electrical components
- support structures (land based, offshore bottom fixed and floating)
- numerical modelling
Aerodynamics
Hydrodynamics
Structural mechanics (dynamics)
- automatic control
- relevant software for global behaviour simulation, component assessment
- design of wind turbines - standards and guidance
Installation, inspection, maintenance and repair
- installation on land vs offshore
- inspection, monitoring and repair
Reliability and risk assessment
- modes of failure
- reliability and risk analysis
Cost estimation
A more detailed program will follow later.
