Tim Gerloff

Consulting Engineer for aero elastic multi body wind turbine simulations. - Focus on load & system simulations - Consulting wind turbine OEMs to deliver next generation multi-megawatt wind turbine platform

Working in a team of software engineers to integrate a new multi-body-systems simulation solver in an existing tool chain. The ultimate goal is to enable the GE renewable business to use the enhanced simulation capabilities. Detailed achievements: • Wind turbine model creation in JavaScript • Tools development and integration in existing toolchain with Python • Developed exceptional culturally sensitive communication skills in a globally distributed team

As multi-body-simulation load engineer for wind turbines I learned to execute wind turbine simulations according to guidelines and get the resulting loads certified. I also developed tools to automate and speed up the simulation process. Detailed achievements: • Execution of wind turbine simulations with MBS solvers Flex5 and Bladed • Develop tools in Matlab to reduce manual work • Showed great technical and communication skills in global team working on root cause analyzes

As intern at Euros I worked on my master thesis on developing an iterative - load simulation rotor ⇔ blade design - process. Detailed achievements: • Execution of wind turbine simulations with MBS solver Fast • Enhance Fast in Fortran for design needs • Develop a PI wind turbine controller with C++
