DNV GL Joint Industry Project on Validation of Turbulence Models: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-17-673

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This shared resource CRADA defines research collaborations between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Det Norske Veritas (Norway) and Germanischer Lloyd (Germany), known as DNV GL, an international certification body. Under the terms and conditions described in this CRADA agreement, NREL will participate in a wind turbine Joint Industry Project (JIP) led by DNV GL, and including nine other Joint Industry Project sponsors and partners to examine the wind inflow models needed to define the design conditions for wind turbines, with specific focus on atmospheric turbulence. The international design standards are implemented by certification companies, such as DNV GL, the organizing agent of the JIPs. Through this collaboration, the JIP participants have the ability to improve wind turbine design, internationally, as well as in the United States, and can make this improvement by leveraging the significant aggregation of industry funds that has been organized by DNV GL.
