Offer description

AERODYNAMIC TRAINEE IN ONSHORE TD LACS CENTRE OF COMPETENCE   We are looking for very proactive and enthusiatic students to work as trainees in wind turbine aerodynamics inside  Technology Development organisation in SGRE Onshore Technology Directorate. Your localisation would be Spain’s onshore technology offices in Madrid. Your mission would be mainly focused to R+D on aerodynamics: participating in the development, simulation and validation of aerodynamic technical solutions; integrating them in the rotor design; helping on process development, methodology, models and tools for wind turbine and wind farms aerodynamic analysis and simulation, etc.  You will work with and learn from a very qualified team of engineers, and very closely to other disciplines as loads, control, ambient conditioning, sites assessment, blade structure, etc. that will provide you with a broad view of technical aspects around wind turbines design business.   Mainly focused towards R+D: ·         Learn from and participate in the development of aerodynamic focused technical solutions and technologies, methods, models and tools, validating them and deploying to Products.   Aerpdynamic engineers main general responsibilities are, ·         Perform the aerodynamic design of the rotor of the wind turbine (airfoild, blade, addons, rotor aerodynamic integration) ·         Perform numerical simulations to evaluate aerodynamic design in sufficient detail. Also for analysis of complex wind farms where aeronautical kind CFD simulation methods are required. ·         Create the external surface (3D) of the blade in CAD format, with the required quality and taking into account the structural and manufacturing restrictions specified. ·         Define the test requirements and acceptance criteria for aerodynamic design validation. Analysis and interpretation of test results. ·         Collaborate in the definition of the requirements of the blade, specifying the nominal values and the tolerances of the geometric parameters related to the aerodynamic performance. ·         Calculate wind turbine performances for required wind conditions ·         Define the laws of pitch and rotor speed, from a static point of view, according to power criteria, aerodynamic loads, etc.
