GH Bladed

GH Bladed is the software package allowing users to carry out performance and loading calculations for the design and certification of wind turbines, both on and offshore. The program has been extensively validated against measured data from a wide range of turbines.

 

Industry Standard Software

 

The Windows-based graphical user interface and on-line help facility makes GH Bladed easy and convenient to use. It is the industry standard for wind turbine design calculations. GH Bladed supports calculations of combined wind and wave loading, with full aeroelastic and hydroelastic modelling and seismic excitation. GH Bladed has been validated by Germanischer Lloyd for the calculation of wind turbine loads for design and certification.

GH Bladed is used by wind turbine and component manufacturers, certification agencies, design consultants and research organisations across the world. A number of modules are available, covering steady state analysis, dynamic load simulations, analysis of loads and energy capture, batch processing and automated report generation, interaction with the electrical network, and model linearisation for control design.

GH Bladed is also available in an educational version which provides a world class tool for teaching wind turbine technology.
