Moog Inc., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance motion control products and solutions, has applied its expertise with servo control and actuation to help create a testing facility for researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Large Scale Facility, part of the Department of Wind Energy and the Villum Center for Advanced Structural and Material Testing (CASMaT). Underpinning the test facility on the DTU Ris\u00f8 campus in Denmark, is Moog\u2019s digital closed loop control system and application software. Moog and its partner T A Savery designed and installed test equipment for three test stands, which can accommodate 15-, 25- and 45-meter wind turbine blades. Moog engineers carried out the installation and commissioning of the suite of test equipment and provide ongoing support for DTU staff. The Moog scope of supply for the three, blade test stands included the hydraulic power plant and distribution network, six hydraulic winches for the static test and a combination of eight mass resonance exciters (MRE) and linear actuator assemblies for dynamic test work. The solution also included all pipe work, hosing and actuation devices, control system electronics and application software. To design the winch assemblies, Moog collaborated with U.K.-based Qualter Hall, a provider of bespoke hoisting, winching and haulage systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMuch analysis went into how the MRE would work, the frequency and how DTU would like it to perform,\u201d adds Graham Wood, managing director with T A Savery, a U.K.-based firm with a 200-year pedigree of engineering and machining for industries ranging from defence to mining and a long-standing relationship with Moog. \u201cThis was not a contract in which the customer simply said, \u2018Make A, B and C and that\u2019s that.\u2019 Moog won the contract, and then began a great deal of technical research, modelling and hardware design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moog\u2019s goal was to give DTU the latitude to conduct an array of tests. For example, if researchers wanted to use a test bay to conduct a dynamic test on a blade, the hydraulic system would accommodate wide pressure fluctuations. If the next test required a static one with winches, DTU could set the hydraulics to meet a very-low flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDTU can select what they want, without being constrained by the equipment,\u201d adds Kevin Cherrett, business segment manager for Systems and Services with Moog\u2019s Industrial Solutions & Services Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moog continues to support DTU\u2019s work via a project in which researchers hope to increase the reliability of wind turbine blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoog\u2019s technology is helping with this because we will embed sensors in test blades with built-in defects and monitor how the damage grows, whilst the Moog exciters will put realistic loads on the blades,\u201d says Dr. Kim Branner, senior research scientist and head of the Structural Design & Testing Team for DTU Wind Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Branner sees the project helping blade makers build better blades but also creating a digitised twin of each blade that a wind farm operator could use to model what a blade\u2019s future state might look like. If all goes according to plan, someday a wind farm control centre could predict a blade fail before it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
