SOLUTE has been granted national funds (from CDTI) for a Research and
Development project which aims to reduce unavoidable uncertainties on wind
resource estimation and wind and energy production prediction.
SOLUTE collaborates with 2 very important spanish universities on the
development of new software that will be in the market by 2015.
 Time series reconstruction
 FUROW (wind data analysis, wind
resource assessment, micrositing)
 Wind energy forecasting

OBJECTIVE. To develop a new:
- Small vertical axis wind turbine for rooftop in urban environment
- Variable speed control system
- CFD software for wind resource assessment in urban environment,
where the turbulences have to be taken into account
SOLUTE´s activities in the project :
- Manage and control the wind measurement and assessment
campaign
- Manage and coordinate the development of the CFD software in
collaboration with Uppsala University
- Give support to the structural and mechanical activities of the
consortium to develop the wind turbine

- 5 kW horizontal axis wind turbine for rooftop
- 25 kW horizontal axis wind turbine for industrial areas
SOLUTE´s activities in the project for the three wind turbines:
- Aerodynamic design of the blades
- Aerodynamic loads analysis
- Structural analysis of the blades and hubs
- Design of the pitch systems
- Design of the yaw systems
- Give support to the next manufacture processes: blades, hubs and
masts
- Design and calculate the anchorages and masts needed in each wind
energy
turbine and in each type Wind
