Real-Time Aeroservoelastic Analysis of Wind-Turbines by Free Multibody Software

Wind-turbines represent an important means to extract energy from the environment in a ‘green’ manner. The concept of extracting energy from the wind dates back thousands of years, including not only power generation (e.g. mills, water pumps) but also direct locomotion (e.g. sailing). Modern wind-energy technology relies on efficient aerodynamic design and durable mechanical systems.
