The MOMENTA project is looking to improve modelling and predicting of aeroelastic loads that result from wake turbulence between wind turbines, so that this data can be incorporated into wind-farm design from the outset.

The MOMENTA project initially proposes to deploy a drone to take an original measurement of wake turbulence in a wind turbine slipstream. The properties of the turbulence will be reproduced at the entrance to wind tunnels on the scale of a blade and rotor to assess the impact on the aerodynamic loads.

Once analysed, the results will be integrated into aeroelastic solvers to be used in rotor and wind farm design.
