KIWi Project Logo

KIWi - Hybrid Parameter Identification with Invertible Networks

BMBF-Project
PI: Tobias Kluth

In the near future, many wind turbines (WTs) will reach the end of their design life, typically 20 years. In the joint project KIWi, data- and model-based methods for model correction and for parameter identification in inexact models are used to enable a more accurate determination of the estimation of the load in wind turbines and thus to extend their possible lifetime.
 

TorchPhysics

TorchPhysics - A deep learning library for differential equations

Differential equations have to be solved in a wide variety of applications, usually by means of numerical simulations. Classical methods such as the Finite Element Method have shown to be succesful in various problems. However, some differential equations are very difficult to solve with classical methods, for example due to nonlinearities or their multi-scale character. Therefore, the aim of this project is to create a software package that combines various deep learning approaches for usage in various applications and further research. The project is developed in cooperation with the Robert Bosch GmbH.

These videos show only a small angle of the scenario and are often of low quality. The SceneNet project aimed to transfer audio-visual recordings of a public event into a video sequence of the highest quality. In this video, an event can then be viewed interactively from a wide variety of angles.
