Fast-track testing of nacelles
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In Bremerhaven, a test rig is being developed that can test complete wind turbine nacelles in the multi-megawatt class. Unprecedented: a load transmission system mechanically simulates the wind loads occurring in the field. The researchers are investigating the electrical components using a simulated electricity grid. Laboratory tests are also providing information on how wind turbine concepts can be improved. With these properties, the test rig has the world’s most powerful grid simulation system.

Numerical and Mesh Resolution Requirements for Accurate Sonic Boom Prediction of Complete Aircraft Configurations
A careful study is conducted to assess the numerical mesh resolution requirements for the accurate computation of sonic boom ground signatures produced by complete aircraft configurations. The details of the ground signature can depend heavily on the accurate prediction of the pressure distribution in the near-field of the aircraft. It is, therefore, important to accurately describe the geometr...

SUMMARY Wind-tunnel tests have been made to assess the aerodynamic potential of an overwing installation for fan-jet engines on a typlcal modern transport aeroplane. Low-speed tests on a complete model with free-flow nacelles and tests at higher speed on a partial model incorporating a blown jet are described; it is concluded that the lift-dependent drag associated with such an installation wou...
