Summary
Diego Montero is a Wind Turbine Loads & Controls Engineer with 10 years of experience designing and certifying utility-scale turbines, currently leading loads, dynamic modeling and simulation at WEG. He combines a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering with hands-on expertise in FEA/ANSYS, FAST/Bladed dynamic load analysis, composites and cost/performance conceptual design to move projects from supplier qualification to type certification under IEC/GL standards. Diego develops and maintains simulation and post-processing tools in Python and Julia, bridging numerical research and production workflows to accelerate design iterations. His background in supply chain engineering and certification gives him a rare end-to-end perspective on manufacturability and regulatory compliance, helping reduce risks early in the design cycle. Based in Santa Catarina, Brazil, he focuses on practical optimization of turbine structures and controls to support a more renewable future.
