Phd scholarships
in Wind Energy
The Wind Energy Division at the National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark (Risø DTU)
is doing research, innovation and education in the eld of wind energy. This includes activities within meteorology,
wind turbine technology and integration of wind energy in power systems. The development of wind energy in
Denmark is characterized by a public-private partnership between universities and industry.
We have 11 PhD scholarships available for students who want to play a part in the development of new knowledge
within wind energy. You can see a short description of the positions below. You can nd the full job postings on
dtu.dk/career. The application deadline is 14 August 2011.
O shore Wind Turbine
Foundation Design
This project will study the e ect of
marine loading (waves and current) on
deep water wind turbine support
structures and also determine the e ect
of uncertainties in the predicted loading
on the support structure.
Two-dimensional Rotor
Plane Wind Data Retrieval
– HTF Wind Lidar
Lidars (laser based anemometers) provide
possibilities for controlling a wind turbine
for the bene t of power production and
mechanical load reduction. A spinner
mounted lidar will be used for turbine
steering and control.
Wind Turbines and
Aero-acoustic Noise
Noise is an increasing concern for communities
living nearby wind turbines.
The design of low-noise wind turbines
requires the use of validated and accurate
engineering noise models which in the
project will be compared to computational
aero-acoustics and experiments.
Integrated Aero-servoelastic
Design Optimization of Wind
Turbine Rotors
New tools for computing the nonlinear
steady state of a wind turbine rotor,
its stability and frequency-domain characteristics
including the controller
allows an integrated rotor design
process that includes aerodynamics,
structural dynamics, and control.
Wind Power Plants
System Services
The objective of this project is to analyze
and assess the possibilities to exploit
wind power plants capabilities to support
the power system in a similar way as a
conventional power plant.
Electromechanical
Drivetrain Simulation
The drivetrain model from the main
bearing to the generator is modeled as
a exible multibody system with appropriate
generator control. Various load
cases for a multi-MW machine will be
studied and used for optimization of the
drivetrain.
Development of E cient
Turbulence Models for
CFD Wake Simulations
The project will focus on development
and evaluation of advanced turbulence
models aimed at turbine wake modelling.
The study will include comparison with
experiments and time resolved LES type
simulations.
Flutter of
Wind Turbine Blades
This projects aims at investigating the
uncertainties in the present predictions
of classical utter of wind turbine blades
by use of improved aeroelastic engineering
models and full 3D CFD blade computations.
Integrated Wind Power
Planning Tool
The primary objective of this industrial
PhD (Enfor.eu) is to develop a statistical
model for the variability of the wind
power production in the coming hours to
days depending on prevailing weather.
High resolution meteorological mesoscale
models will be used.
Experimental Stereo Vision
Studies of Flow and Structural
E ects on Wind Turbines
Modern vision technologies show great
potential in wind energy research.
In this project they will be used and
developed to study dynamical movements
of turbines and also certain ow
properties.
Multiple
Turbine Wakes
The project will contribute to a more fundamental
understanding of accurate load
and power predictions in wind farms
based on advanced ow modeling of the
wakes and eld experiments including
lidar data.
