The EPE Wind
Energy Chapter organised:
- The first Joint Wind Energy and
T&D Chapters Seminar, which took place on May 9th-11th, 2011 at the Norwegian University
of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.
he Third EPE- Wind Energy
Chapter Seminar, which took place on April 15th-16th,
2010 at the Staffordshire University, Stafford, United Kingdom
The Second EPE- Wind Energy
Chapter Seminar, which took place on April 23th-24th,
2009 at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
The first EPE- Wind Energy
Chapter Seminar, which took place on March 27th-28th,
2008 at the Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands.
In collaboration with IEEE, the “Joint EPE and IEEE Wind
Day – Power Electronics for Wind Energy” at EPE2007 in Aalborg, Denmark,
3 September 2007
The
Chapter is composed by a Board and an advisory council. The board proposes
activities to be discussed by the advisory council. Board and council
meetings are limited to the EPE conferences; otherwise the communication is
through email. Yearly activity report is to be presented to the EPE EC.
Activities
could be field trips to producers of wind turbines and to wind farms. Every
second year a seminar should be organized, with a goal of 100 attendees.

ADAMS2AD
ADAMS2AD is a set of routines used to
interface MSC.ADAMS® and AeroDyn.
AeroDyn
AeroDyn is an aerodynamics software library for use
by designers of horizontal-axis wind turbines. It is written to be interfaced
with structural-dynamics simulators ( MSC.ADAMS®,
FAST,
YawDyn,
and SymDyn).
Bladed software by Garrad
Hassan
FAST
FAST is a medium-complexity code for nonlinear
aero-servo-elastic analysis of horizontal-axis wind turbines. It can
also extract linear state-space models for controls design and can be used to
to generate MSC.ADAMS® models.
NAFNoise
NAFNoise is a code for determing
2-D airfoil noise using a variety of methods.
PLECS
PLECS™ is an electrical simulation software tool that is useful for
simulating power electronic systems including wind turbines. It is designed
by Plexim GmbH in Zürich, Switzerland. Application
examples for wind turbine systems can be found here:
http://www.plexim.com/downloads/plecs_examples_dfig.html

PROPID
PROPID (PROP Inverse Design) is aerodynamic design
software developed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. You can
use it to design rotors. Use this link to visit their site.
PSCAD
PSCAD™ is an easy-to-use
power system simulator for the design and verification of all types of power
systems. It is designed by the Manitoba HVDC Research Centre in Canada.
RPM-Sim
RPM-Sim
is an application-specific study of the system dynamics of renewable-energy
hybrid (wind-diesel-PV-load etc.) power-systems.
TurbSim
TurbSim is a is a
stochastic, full-field, turbulent-wind simulator. It is a descendant of
SNLWIND-3D and SNwind with many new features.
WT Perf
WT_Perf estimates wind-turbine performance.
YawDyn
YawDyn is a simple code for aerodynamic and dynamic
analysis of constant rpm rotors with two or more blades and a teetering or
rigid hub.
