Paul Robert Feja is the group manager for Test and Method Development at Fraunhofer IWES, focusing on the simulation of wind turbine drivetrains and test benches. He studied mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen with a focus on renewable energy. In 2015, he joined Fraunhofer IWES, where he previously worked on global wind turbine model development and simulation. He was responsible for the implementation of a real-time virtual rotor model for hardware-in-the-loop tests at the nacelle test bench DyNaLab.
The requirements for wind turbine test benches are continuously increasing and demand, in turn, investments in test bench expansions or new test benches. Fraunhofer IWES has developed a hybrid test procedure to expand the capacity of existing testing facilities and…
Over the years, we have witnessed rapid growth in both onshore and offshore wind turbine systems. At the same time, the entire wind industry has become even more competitive, as wind turbine manufacturers aim to launch their product on the…
