[b]Description[/b]
Wind turbines are essential for harnessing wind power to generate electricity, making a significant contribution to today's renewable energy landscape. In 2023, global energy consumption reached 1.7x10^15 kWh (620 ExaJoules), with wind energy accounting for approximately 2.3x10^12 kWh, or around 7.81% of global electricity production. The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) forecasts that wind power will generate 20% of the world's electricity by 2030. Denmark is a notable example, producing 58% of its electricity from wind power in 2023.To meet this ambitious target, it is crucial to design larger and more efficient wind turbines. While both onshore and offshore wind turbines are used, offshore turbines are generally more efficient due to higher wind speeds, more consistent wind conditions, and the absence of obstacles present in onshore environments. Additionally, offshore turbines benefit from more available surface area and can support larger structures. Buoyancy forces also play an important role in the design and stability of these turbines.In this course, students will learn to create an accurate CAD model of the 5 MW NREL wind turbine. Using the Dutch Offshore Wind Energy Converter (DOWEC) 6 MW turbine as a reference, which was scaled by NREL to develop the 5 MW baseline model, students will gain hands-on experience in wind turbine design. They will acquire skills in obtaining precise data and describing the aerodynamic properties of the turbine at various span/radial locations. By the end of the course, students will be proficient in modeling wind turbines in SolidWorks and will be prepared to use their CAD models for subsequent CFD simulations.
