Computer-aided analysis for WT systems Software specialized in a certain field Aerodynamics: AeroDyn etc. Structure: ADAMS/WT etc. Electrics: DIgSILENT etc.? Different systems on different simulation platforms?? No detailed coupling analysis
Integrated simulation packages: GH Bladed, Simpack Wind, HAWC2, FAST etc.? Weak coupling (DLLs or co-simulation)?? Numerical stability?
Need for integrated optimization tools (Bottasso, 2010)
