Conference Day 1

4:00 PM How to damp vibrations of wind turbine towers


·      Special wind- and wave excitations and low damping of wind turbine structures can lead to both, extreme resonance situations and increased fatigue loads on the tower.

·      Key parameters for vibration design are first and second tower eigenfrequencies and their corresponding damping.

·      The trend to lower eigenfrequencies and larger deformations with low damping requires special damping devices that controls the damping of the structures.

·      The input from ESM focus on the damping control of wind turbine structures.

Focus Day

11:50 AM Damping of eigenmodes in rotor blades



-Small damping values of low and high frequency eigenmodes in rotor

blades lead to resonances that have impacts on the structural integrity

and radiation of noise.

-It is shown in a systematic way how damping can be introduced into the

eigenmodes of blades and resonant behaviour can be prevented.

-The focus is on edge-wise vibrations, tonalities and broad-band radiation of the noise.
