WindSim 12.0

WindSim 12.0

WindSim stands for Windturbine Simulation package. It models the most important aerodynamic (i.e. BEM, stall, aerodynamic damping) and dynamic features (in the form of “mass-spring-damper” systems) of modern wind turbines, so realistic simulations can be performed.

All main wind turbine components (rotor, tower, transmission and generator) are included. WindSim can be used in order to learn about the dynamics of wind turbines; to design a control system; to do a (simple) fatigue analysis
