Design of onshore wind turbines
Thanks to an increasingly competitive cost, wind has become one of the pillars of decarbonised energy production in the world. ALTEN supports aglobal leader in wind turbinesinmechanical design,definition of instrumentation-control laws,electro technical studies,software developmentand theanalysis of host sites.
为了exploit the kinetic energy of the wind efficiently, a wind turbine must optimise the shape and dimension of the blades and its location, but also effectively control start-up, shutdown, and the direction of the wind turbine. Exposed to extreme winds and bad weather, it must be hard-wearing and long-lasting.
依靠service centrewithmore than 50 engineers, AltenSpainintervenes in several fields of engineering in wind-based energies:
- Aerodynamic studies (site study, calculation of critical loads and the noise generated, etc.)
- Definition of instrumentation control laws
- Development of embedded software
- Mechanical design (tower, nacelle and blades)
- Calculation of structure (static scaling and fatigue simulation)
Recognised by its client as “one of itskey partners” in engineering, ALTEN actively supports theacceleration of the energy transition processin many countries.
