PHD SCHOLARSHIP IN THE TEST & MEASUREMENTS RESEARCH PROGRAMME DENMARK 2011

PhD Scholarship in Two-dimensional Rotor Plane Wind Data Retrieval � HTF Wind Lidar, Denmark

Study Subject(s):Two-dimensional Rotor Plane Wind Data Retrieval � HTF Wind Lidar
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: DTU
Scholarship can be taken at: Denmark

Eligibility:
Candidates should have a master�s degree in engineering, physics or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master�s degree. Experience with wind energy, as well as good communication skills are considered advantageous for obtaining the position.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: Lidars (laser based anemometers) provide many possibilities for controlling a wind turbine for the benefit of power production and mechanical load reduction. A PhD position related to 2D rotor plane wind data retrieval from a spinner-integrated scanning wind lidar is offered. Development of algorithms for mean wind field and turbulence retrieval in several spatial dimensions from scanning wind lidar scanning will be a part of this project. Investigations of the feedback for wind turbine steering and control of wind turbines pitch and yaw will also be done.
