Description: Using limited wind speed and power data, a physics-informed AI tool will be designed to limit the rotor side control fluctuations against wind gust and severe disturbances. The results will serve for a timely trade-off analysis on the evaluation of performance equipped by the combination of physics governed equations and data-driven tools for power electronics. The outcomes will contribute to the design of advanced control and optimization of power electronic products for energy applications.

Description: The work will focus on determining a methodology for translating the multitude of individual failure mode risks to a single metric that expresses the overall risk of the respective design or process.
The student will need to understand how the D/P-FMEA tools work, how different designs and processes are evaluated and make critical decisions as to how to express the different risk profiles in a consistent and simple manner.
The results of the work will be used to then associate newly described risk of designs and processes to product warranty costs.
Other information: Suitable for backgrounds in Mechanical or Materials Engineering.
Knowledge of Wind Energy Systems preferred but not required.
