关于客户
CSIR-中央机械工程研究所 (CSIR-CMERI) 是印度政府科学技术部下属自治机构科学与工业研究理事会 (CSIR) 下的机械工程顶级研发机构。该研究所成立于 1958 年,从事研发已超过 59 年,其使命是服务国家,实现自力更生、战略部门和社会应用。主要研究领域包括机器人与机电一体化、微系统技术、快速原型与建模、先进机械设计、仿真与建模、先进制造技术及其相关领域。
挑战
印度人口的增长导致对电力的需求增加。为了满足这一需求,该国正在寻求可再生能源。 CSIR-中央机械工程研究所(CSIR-CMERI)开发出了美观的太阳能电池,被称为“太阳能人造物”,其形状为雨伞或树木。这些太阳能制品可以放置在商业或公共空间中,提供电力,同时保持下方的空间用于生产或娱乐用途。然而,这些太阳能人造物的设计需要适应可用空间,并根据其位置承受一定范围的风速。面临的挑战是确保这些文物足够坚固,能够在一定范围的风速下抵抗损坏,同时又不牺牲其美学设计。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战,CSIR-CMERI 研究人员求助于 ANSYS 解决方案来运行流固耦合 (FSI) 模拟,以确定阵风对其太阳伪影的影响。他们使用 ANSYS SpaceClaim 和 ANSYS AIM 在单一窗口环境中进行预处理、网格划分、求解和后处理。他们在 AIM 中针对稳态湍流风流条件建立了完整的 FSI 工作流程,并在太阳能电池板结构上绘制总力图以进行应力和位移研究。他们模拟了不同结构载荷和风流条件(80、100 和 120 公里/小时)下的太阳伪影模型。模拟结果表明,伞的设计可以承受所有这些风力条件。

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data
Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Siemens Wind Power
Wind provides clean, renewable energy. The core concept is simple: wind turbines spin blades to generate power. However, today's systems are anything but simple. Modern wind turbines have blades that sweep a 120 meter circle, cost more than 1 million dollars and generate multiple megawatts of power. Each turbine may include up to 1,000 sensors and actuators – integrating strain gages, bearing monitors and power conditioning technology. The turbine can control blade speed and power generation by altering the blade pitch and power extraction. Controlling the turbine is a sophisticated job requiring many cooperating processors closing high-speed loops and implementing intelligent monitoring and optimization algorithms. But the real challenge is integrating these turbines so that they work together. A wind farm may include hundreds of turbines. They are often installed in difficult-to-access locations at sea. The farm must implement a fundamentally and truly distributed control system. Like all power systems, the goal of the farm is to match generation to load. A farm with hundreds of turbines must optimize that load by balancing the loading and generation across a wide geography. Wind, of course, is dynamic. Almost every picture of a wind farm shows a calm sea and a setting sun. But things get challenging when a storm goes through the wind farm. In a storm, the control system must decide how to take energy out of gusts to generate constant power. It must intelligently balance load across many turbines. And a critical consideration is the loading and potential damage to a half-billion-dollar installed asset. This is no environment for a slow or undependable control system. Reliability and performance are crucial.

Remote Monitoring and Control for a Windmill Generator
As concerns over global warming continue to grow, green technologies are becoming increasingly popular. Wind turbine companies provide an excellent alternative to burning fossil fuels by harnessing kinetic energy from the wind and converting it into electricity. A typical wind farm may include over 80 wind turbines so efficient and reliable networks to manage and control these installations are imperative. Each wind turbine includes a generator and a variety of serial components such as a water cooler, high voltage transformer, ultrasonic wind sensors, yaw gear, blade bearing, pitch cylinder, and hub controller. All of these components are controlled by a PLC and communicate with the ground host. Due to the total integration of these devices into an Ethernet network, one of our customers in the wind turbine industry needed a serial-to-Ethernet solution that can operate reliably for years without interruption.

IoT Powering A New Way to Light Streets with Bifacial Solar Panels
When James Meringer’s commercial contracting business experienced a rapid increase in solar projects, he also saw an opportunity to extend the benefits of solar by using the bifacial solar panels he’d become familiar with in new ways. Bifacial solar panels enable sunlight from both sides of the panel, making it a more efficient harvest of solar power. Seeing the panel’s power, James and his team set out to use the same technology for street lighting. Until now, solar street lights have served as utilitarian solutions that force designers to choose between form and function. The Mira Bella Energy team has changed that.
