Engineering design optimisation on a Saas basis

Paul Boughton
Dezineforce, which describes itself as the world's first provider of web-based, on-demand engineering design optimisation, will be exhibiting at All-Energy 2009, the exhibition and conference devoted to renewable energy. The event will be held in Aberdeen, Scotland on 20-21 May 2009. Dezineforce will use All-Energy 2009 to showcase its innovative engineering design optimisation service that is available on a Saas (software as a service) basis.

Joining Dezineforce at All-Energy 2009 will be fluid engineering specialists and Dezineforce consulting partner Intelligent Fluid Solutions. Intelligent Fluid Solutions is improving wind farm yield through the application of advanced simulation and optimisation. The combination of Dezineforce optimisation tools and innovative simulation models developed by Intelligent Fluid Solutions of wind turbines and complete wind farms allows investigation into alternative wind farm layouts and the effects of variations in local atmospheric conditions. Dr Althea de Souza from Dezineforce and Dr Andrej Horvat from Intelligent Fluid Solutions will co-present a technology update on the use of simulation and optimisation for wind farm design as part of the onshore wind stream of the conference on 20 May 2009.

Dr Peter Collins, Dezineforce CEO, comments: "Wind farm simulations are usually constrained by the computational requirements of such complex models but with the Dezineforce compute cluster processing capability there are no such restrictions. Working with Intelligent Fluid Solutions we have developed solutions to the limitations and inefficiencies of the computer-based design process for wind farm design. These solutions will enable engineering companies and manufacturers working in the renewable and sustainable energy sector to raise their design capability to an entirely new level."

Dezineforce will also use All-Energy 2009 to showcase the more general applications of its web-based design optimisation service. Simulation has become a crucial part of the design process. Dezineforce gives design engineers cost-effective access to a combination of cutting-edge design optimisation tools, world-class high-performance computing and an array of industry-leading simulation tools for structural, fluid dynamics and mechanism analysis. Crucially, it does so without the hidden costs of traditional software use, particularly hardware, consulting, IT support and maintenance. Because it is delivered over the Internet, Dezineforce can be accessed from anywhere in the world, by whomever the subscribing company chooses, thereby facilitating collaboration between design engineering teams in different locations.
