LMS Engineering Services offers solutions for the wind turbine industry, more specifically solutions for noise reduction and durability engineering to guarantee the required lifetime, as well as certification. With increasingly ambitious ecologic targets and resolute choices for energy that is clean, indigenous and inexhaustible, wind energy is predicted to meet approximately 25% of Europe’s power demand in 25 years time. On a worldwide scale, wind turbine markets are also growing fast in the United States, India, Japan, China, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Solutions to improve new wind turbine designs are therefore much sought after.
Solving noise issues
If environmental noise emission is still too high after a prototype has been built, a trial and error procedure is unavoidable. However, to tackle complex noise radiation problems, a merely physical testing approach may prove insufficient. LMS’ approach to wind turbine noise reduction goes beyond physical prototype testing.

Engineering for guaranteed lifetime
Ensuring that a wind turbine remains operational for at least 20 years without down-time, secures its economic viability. The certification guideline has defined the necessary steps which should lead to a guaranteed
lifetime. The input for a fatigue life prediction consists of covering all the different wind speeds that require complex aerodynamic loads on the one hand and the particular pressure distribution on the wings on the other hand. Find our more...
