M.Sc. Matthias Huhn studied mechanical engineering at the Hamburg University of Technology, RWTH Aachen University, and EPFL in Lausanne. Since 2017, he is a research associate at Fraunhofer IWES in the group for global turbine dynamics and works on modelling, verification, and validation of aeroelastic models of wind turbines. He is a member of the international committee Joint Working Forum on Model Validation of the IECRE and chairman of the German mirror committee DKE AK 383.0.100.
As the dimensions of wind turbines continue to increase in size, so do the mechanical loads acting on their components. The incoming wind field also covers an increasingly larger area. As such, models play an important role in the development…
