Higher fidelity loads prediction with Vortex Wake aerodynamics in Bladed

DNV’s aeroelastic software for turbine engineering, Bladed, has recently been upgraded with Vortex Wake aerodynamics. This method is more accurate than the traditional Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and has shown to reduce turbine fatigue loads. Listen in as we interview senior turbine engineer and scientist at DNV, Galih Bangga, about different methods for wind turbine computations.
