High performance computing for wind energy
Wind energy has become increasingly important as a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the energy portfolios of both Europe and Brazil. At almost every stage in
wind energy exploitation ranging from wind turbine design, wind resource assessment to wind farm layout and operations, the application of HPC is a must.
Simulation of the power generated by a wind turbine, which responds non-linearly to the incoming turbulent wind speed
