The project aims to lay the foundation of a research and development platform which concentrates on the usage of wind turbines throughout the entire functional chain in a so far unattained quality. The research is focused on the interaction of the subsystems as part of the overall structure, under consideration of mutual influences of two separate wind turbines and the effect on the integrated network as well. The ISD will be concentrating on intelligent measurement data analysis, Structural Health Monitoring as well as the calculation of coupled dynamical systems.
