Résumé : |
As they are getting increasingly longer, wind turbine blades need to be stiffer and lighter to avoid cracks from fatigue loading and to help lower foundation construction costs. Current development processes are mainly 2D-based and rely on heterogeneous suites of tools that are not compatible with the quality and stiffness requirements of designing larger blades. Moreover, these tools do not allow to take last-minute engineering changes into account for manufacturing instructions.. In this context, wind turbine manufacturers are looking for innovative development solutions – particularly for blade architecture, design, simulation and manufacturing – that will help them meet these requirements while achieving longer life spans without defects. |
