The EAWE Test Wind Turbines Committee space
The EAWE Test Wind Turbines Committee space is a safe collaboration space for sharing data provided by members of the Test Wind Turbines Committee of the European Academy of Wind Energy, including the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, ETH Zurich, Chalmers University of Technology and ECN, and more.
Initially, the EAWE Test Wind Turbines Committee space includes the following data sets, which have been prepared thanks for an EOSC Future grant, co-funded by the European Union Horizon Programme call INFRAEOSC-03-202 Grant Agreement number 101017536:
- ETH Zurich 6 kW test turbine: 1 Hz SCADA data and high-frequency SHM data
- Chalmers test turbine 1 Hz SCADA and high-frequency SHM data
More data sets will be added in due course!
Initial challenge topics for you to participate in include:
- Identifying controller settings from operational data (Chalmers Institute of Technology)
- Developing and testing methods for strain gauge calibration (Chalmers Institute of Technology)
- ECN student challenge - evaluating the generalisabilty of different 3D aerodynamic correction models by calibrating the modelling parameters using uncertainty quantification based on pressure distribution measurements on five different wind turbines (ECN)
For the student challenge, we will provide a student project description template for students and supervisors, in order to be able to integrate the challenge with Bachelor and Masters projects. As well as this, the students will receive support from Human Resources specialists from the company Badenova in Hamburg, Germany, in which workshops on topics such as communication, CV writing, networking and interview skills will be offered. In the future, we will organise internships and summer schools.
The space also includes an open challenge "pitch for challenge ideas", in which participants can make suggestions for new challenges, which then get voted on by the other participants!
Why should you take part?
Your benefits:
