This research builds on an established turbine performance integral (TPI) method with a sensor-augmented aeroelastic modelling approach to enhance wind turbine performance assessment, focusing on blade erosion. This research provides an approach for bridging simulation insights with operational data for turbine-specific performance assessment, contributing to the development of condition monitoring systems (CMSs), resilient turbine designs, and maintenance strategies tailored to specific operating conditions." name="citation\_abstract">. This research provides an approach for bridging simulation insights with operational data for turbine-specific performance assessment, contributing to the development of condition monitoring systems (CMSs), resilient turbine designs, and maintenance strategies tailored to specific operating conditions. Furthermore, in this work the effectiveness of the identified sensor pairs for the turbine investigated is compared to that found in previous research (Malik and Bak, 2024b), where a distinct wind turbine from a different OEM was studied and for which the relationship of generator speed as a function of power formed the basis for the monitoring of performance variation over time using the turbine performance integral (TPI).

# Wind Turbine Simulation and Design. BlogEnergyWind Turbine Simulation and Design. Wind turbines are at the forefront of utilizing this energy as they provide a long-term, cost-effective, and low-maintenance solution for the conversion of wind energy into electricity. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Rotating Machinery Wind Simulation Wind Turbine. It is, therefore, crucial to ensure that wind turbines are designed optimally for their specific operating conditions to extract the maximum possible amount of energy. In this article, we discuss how wind turbine design can be enhanced and accelerated with simulation using CFD and FEA tools to achieve optimal efficiency and performance. ## Wind Turbine Design. There are essentially two types of wind turbines, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT). The vast majority of wind turbines in use today are horizontal-axis types as they have proven to be more efficient than the vertical-axis types. The design of wind turbines has largely to do with the design of the turbine blades.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Scaled Wind Farm Technology facility was commissioned in 2013 to provide an experimental site with research-scale wind turbines for studying wind-turbine wakes and turbine–turbine interactions at a realistic scale. The SWiFT site is managed and operated by Sandia National Laboratories for the DOE Wind program. In a separate but parallel effort beginning with a grant from the DOE, the University of Minnesota has developed the Eolos Consortium, a research group focused on advanced wind-energy measurements and simulation methods. The Eolos group has developed a high-fidelity wind farm simulation code, the Virtual Wind Simulator, which is able to simulate the generation and interaction of wind-turbine wakes within a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer using a large eddy simulation method.

Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA-0003525.
