About the role
The System Value Optimization (SVO) team performs wind turbine aeroelastic simulations for new product development and fleet support, with the goal of creating robust and cost-efficient wind turbine designs through load assessment, validation, methods, and tools. The role covers mechanical loads analyses, controller tunings, aeroelastic modeling, loads envelope updates, feasibility studies, certification documentation, and loads mitigation or performance optimization to lower Levelized Cost of Energy. The engineer also develops process and tool automation and communicates with cross-functional engineering stakeholders.
What you will do
- Execute mechanical loads analyses, controller tunings and trade-offs (loads, stability, operation and performance) for new products, cost out, design updates, and fleet support as needed.
- Preparation of loads inputs, creation of the aeroelastic model, execute loads analysis and perform postprocessing is part of the design loop and therefore the responsibilities of the SVO engineer.
- Perform basic operability checks and frequency domain stability checks.
- Update loads envelopes
- Hand off model and controller to MLA team, to execute site specific assessments.
- Perform feasibility studies and develop tech charts.
- Deliver best-in-class loads mitigation and performance optimization technologies to lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE)
- Identify and deliver on ideas for process simplification and tools automation
- Cultivate an atmosphere of team building and learning, driving new methods/ideas for loads and performance improvements.
- Effectively communicate to cross-functionally engineering team and other stakeholders.
