Based on long term experience in the determination of and research on
the loads of wind energy conversion systems as well as on the structural
reliability of such systems GL will furnish their work on application of
evaluation and validation methods. Reliability analysis techniques have
been used in wind engineering only to a very limited amount. However,
they can be effectively usedto calibrate safety factors to be used
in the design if sufficient knowledge has been obtained on the quantitative
reliability methods.
In the project GL will act as an end user and will be participating
in the verification and analysis of simulation results. GL will also
contribute to definition of requirements and install tools for the collaborative
working environment.
