Responsibilities

Airfoil polar simulations using xfoi/MSES/CFDl or similar tools.

Airfoil design and working with wind tunnel polars will be required to clean-up and/or introduce effect of add-ons like vortex generators and/or serrations.

Multi-objective blade optimal design, taking aero, structure, control and loads into account in design process.

Power curve validation of wind turbines and Root Cause Analysis of under-performing turbines.

Wind turbine loads simulations/assessment using in-house and commercial tools.

Conduct field experiments to validate in-flight blade response and its effect on power performance.

Visit prototype turbines on as needed basis for power performance related quality checks/tests.

Reviews (with aerodynamic focus) of Blade models, evaluate aero risks and offer mitigation solution.

Develop tools (typically Matlab/python based) for task specific requirements.

Add-on kits evaluations.

3D CFD simulation.
