Simulation for renewable energy
Norvento Energía Distribuida, a renewable energy company in northwest Spain, has selected the multiphysics suite of software from ANSYS for enterprise-wide use in developing and optimising renewable forms of energy. Norvento expects to leverage the coupled electromagnetic, thermal and structural simulation capabilities of ANSYS technology in developing the best designs possible.
One of the company's most significant recent projects is development of a new innovative wind turbine specially designed for distributed energy applications. "We determined that engineering simulation was the best tool for coming up with fast, effective and innovative designs," said Miguel Hoyos, technical director at Norvento Energía Distribuida. "Simulation will help us arrive at the best design more efficiently and most cost effectively."
