The 5 day seminar is designed for new users of Bladed. It includes hands-on guided use of the software complemented by tutorials on key topics of wind turbine technology. By the end of the seminar you will:• Understand the basic principles of a wind turbine.• Be able to build a complete wind turbine model.• Perform load calculations.• Have an understanding of control concepts.• Have an overview of site specific load calculations. EquipmentPlease bring a laptop computer for the seminar. At the start of the first day you will install Bladed and be given a temporary security device to use for the course. Areas of Bladed covered within the seminar:• Introduction to Bladed• Building a wind turbine model• Rotor aerodynamics• Structural dynamics• Control and safety systems• Modelling the environment• Running steady calculations• Running Simulations• Post-processing and reporting• The role of standards and certification• Offshore wind climate and wave loading• Offshore structures and foundations• Site specific load calculations• Seismic loading
