PHD SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE WIND ENERGY DIVISION AT RIS� DTU DENMARK 2011

PhD Scholarship in Experimental Stereo Vision Studies of Flow and Structural Effects on Wind Turbines, Denmark
Study Subject(s):Experimental Stereo Vision Studies of Flow and Structural Effects on Wind Turbines
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: DTU
Scholarship can be taken at: Denmark

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

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: Modern vision technologies show great potential in wind energy research. In this project they will be used and developed to study dynamical movements of turbines and also certain flow properties. Stereometric techniques will be used to measure the deflection of a large rotating wind turbine and the same technology will be used to characterize the dynamics of a small, floating, model-scale offshore wind turbine with a vertical axis of rotation. This knowledge will be coupled to dynamical models of the turbine. Finally, fast line-scan cameras will be used to measure the tip vortex of an operating wind turbine and the results will be compared to current models of the vortex.

How to Apply: Online

Scholarship Application Deadline: 14 August 2011
