1 NuMAD Cost Tool: Summer Internship Summary Rachel Koh Student Intern Mentor: Brian Naughton Manager: Dave Minster Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.

2 Ph.D. Student, Univ. of Massachusetts Amherst Introduction Lab Affiliations: Wind Energy Center / Sustainable Building Materials Group Academic Thrust Areas: Materials Science and Wind Energy Dissertation Topic: Integration of Bio-based Materials into Megawatt-Scale Wind Turbine Blades

3 Project Goals Review and summarize existing blade manufacturing cost models Identify cost model requirements for integration with SNL design tools and adapt from existing design tools Modify NuMAD to integrate new cost model Do a blade cost study to demonstrate/validate tool

4 Summary of existing cost models Motivation/Development of NuMAD cost tool Tool Validation Demonstration: Parametric Analyses Future Work Presentation Outline

5 Existing Cost Models Tool/Model/Author Year public? fidelity scaling format strengths, limitations, notes manufacturing scaling and Report/ TPI trends analysis; somewhat WindPACT (SNL/TPI) 2003 Y low-med limited quotes outdated NREL Cost and Scaling 2006 Y low yes excel trends analysis; looks at entire turbine; very little detail non-us reference; automation analyses Fraunhofer IWES N med yes excel high- labor SNL / Johanns-Griffith 2013 Y med-materials yes excel high fidelity labor NREL / James- Goodrich 2013 N multi yes excel TPI / Nolet 2014 N med no excel NREL / Berry IP N high IP excel considers financing; labor based on SNL (2013) industry experience; current data; includes CAPEX very thorough materials analysis; other components currently unfinished

6 Cost Tool Priorities Integration with NuMAD Highly automated for optimization Medium-high fidelity Format to integrate with other blade design tools Low CPU time Minimal changes to existing NuMAD codes and interfaces

7 Aside: Current State of NuMAD prenumad: move to object-oriented programming motivations included incorporation of a cost tool improved ability to manage software complexity improved efficiency blade object properties, e.g. blade.sparcapwidth, blade.materials, blade.materials(6).density methods, e.g. blade.generatecost, blade.generatecostreport currently, blade object is defined manually or in excel input (xlsblade.m) and gets converted back to NuMAD
