The 5th Wind & Drivetrain Conference took place on April 6–7, 2022, and was a virtual event, enabling worldwide participation. This Conference is the only Dassault Systèmes event focusing entirely on wind turbines and drivetrains.
This two-day global event was aimed at anyone within the wind turbine and drivetrain industries who wants to learn about the latest modeling and cutting-edge simulation technologies.
We were delighted to bring you leading-edge technology presentations from multiple brands of Dassault Systèmes and industry leaders, such as GE Renewable Energy, Goldwind Science Technology, ZF Wind Power, and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). They've presented the latest technology for wind turbine engineering. (For a list of all speakers and abstracts, click here.)
The 5th Wind & Drivetrain conference was a huge success:
We had 1312 registrations from 60 different countries for the event. Of these, 680 registered for Day 1 and 632 for Day 2. In the end, a total of 593 individuals attended the event. We had 33 presentations, 21 from customers and 12 from Dassault Sytèmes. Many of these presentations are now online: you only need to open the daily agenda post (see links below) and click on the link in the agenda/speaker title you want to see.
Topics covered during the event:
- The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, the Digital Thread
- Wind Turbine System Simulation
- Drivetrain NVH
- Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics
- Aero- and Vibro-Acoustics
- Blade Materials
- Machine Learning and AI
