Turbine Design

Using ETA’s holistic design methodology, the ACP Process™, ETA can design even the most complex wind turbine systems.  ETA’s team takes into consideration loading, manufacturing, material and cost constraints early in the process, resulting in lower costs and higher quality products.

 

Dynamic Behavior & Load Prediction

ETA can efficiently simulate and analyze the interaction between components and loading conditions using its own FEA systems analysis tool VPG.

 

Wind Load Simulation

Using VPG, ETA can provide accurate wind load analysis and help to make the most aerodynamic turbine possible. 

 

Durability Analysis & Damage Tolerance

ETA can expertly analyze durability as a result of fatigue, accidental damage, corrosion and more.

 

Fatigue Life Prediction & Optimization

ETA’s team can analyze and predict results from damage due to cyclic loading and optimize the design to increase the fatigue life of the structure.

 

Noise Simulation & Optimization

Keeping noise within the required tolerance levels can be achieved with ETA’s advanced engineering methodologies.

 

Solar Panel Engineering - Damage Resistance

ETA can accurately predict the solar panel’s resistance to damage during the manufacturing and transportation processes.  ETA can provide recommendations to streamline the manufacturing process and how to prevent such failure.  VPG’s drop test simulations can help provide the required insight into the design and its ability to manage transportation and installation impacts.

 

Atmospheric Impact

Solar panels must withstand the elements and have a long lifetime.  Hail, wind and snow effects can be simulated and analyzed by ETA’s team and recommendations for design improvement can be applied to improve the function and lifetime of the product.

 

Create the Optimal Design Solution

By taking into consideration constraints and simulations early in the design process, ETA can provide the optimal design solution for the client.

 

Design Robustness

ETA can provide thorough modal analysis, structural analysis and thermo-mechanical analysis for the optimized concept resulting in a higher quality product.
