Danish outfit Mita-Teknik has launched a new load and control toolbox that can carry out swift advanced simulations of wind turbine designs.
The MiLaCtool aims to optimise all working operations during the design iterations of the wind turbine, and gives an overview of dependencies and impacts of all loads, the company said.
It will allow engineers to design and evaluate the results from the load calculations in one day rather than a couple of weeks.
Mita-Teknik chief technology officer Thomas Andersen said: “During the past years, there has been a significant focus on levelized cost of energy. With the launch of MiLaCtool, combined with our advanced control algorithms, we make our partners able to optimise the design process even further, resulting in substantial cost savings.”
Mita-Teknik control systems team lead Ole Binderup said: “By using the MiLaCtool, engineers can focus on the essentials, namely the relevant work of understanding the results, deducing what is going on, and making decisions on the next steps.”
