Progresses in application of computational ?uid dynamic methods to large scale wind turbine aerodynamics?

The computational ?uid dynamics (CFD) methods are applied to aerody-namic problems for large scale wind turbines. The progresses including the aerodynamic analyses of wind turbine pro?les, numerical ?ow simulation of wind turbine blades, evalu-ation of aerodynamic performance, and multi-objective blade optimization are discussed. Based on the CFD methods, signi?cant improvements are obtained to predict two/three-dimensional aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbine airfoils and blades, and the vorti-cal structure in their wake ?ows is accurately captured. Combining with a multi-objective genetic algorithm, a 1.5 MW NH-1500 optimized blade is designed with high e?ciency in wind energy conversion.     

Aeroelastic analysis of large horizontal wind turbine baldes?

A nonlinear aeroelastic analysis method for large horizontal wind turbines is described. A vortex wake method and a nonlinear ?nite element method (FEM) are coupled in the approach. The vortex wake method is used to predict wind turbine aero-dynamic loads of a wind turbine, and a three-dimensional (3D) shell model is built for the rotor. Average aerodynamic forces along the azimuth are applied to the structural model, and the nonlinear static aeroelastic behaviors are computed. The wind rotor modes are obtained at the static aeroelastic status by linearizing the coupled equations. The static aeroelastic performance and dynamic aeroelastic responses are calculated for the NH1500 wind turbine. The results show that structural geometrical nonlinearities signi?cantly reduce displacements and vibration amplitudes of the wind turbine blades. Therefore, structural geometrical nonlinearities cannot be neglected both in the static aeroelastic analysis and dynamic aeroelastic analysis.     

Dynamic modelling and design of various robust sliding mode controls for the wind turbine with estimation of wind speed

The main propose of this paper is extracting the maximum efficiency from variable speed wind turbine, which is modelled as an electromechanical system with two masses dynamics. The maximum efficiency can be obtained by tracking the optimal rotor speed, which is controlled by the generator torque as the input. One of the most important information that is required for designing of the control system is the measurement of the effective wind velocity. In this paper, a new ANFIS-based method for estimating the effective wind velocity is developed. The aerodynamic torque has a direct relationship with the power coefficient. So in this paper, power coefficient of WindPACT 1.5 MW turbine as a function of tip speed ratio (TSR) and blade pitch angle is considered. Then, three control methods based on high order sliding mode controllers are examined. The rotor speed and the wind velocity are the only variables required in the design of second and third order sliding mode controllers. FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures and Turbulence) is valid software that offers a fairly complete model of the wind turbine. Results of this paper are validated using FAST. Performance of the designed controllers is compared in terms of the generator torque and desired rotor speed tracking. Finally, the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is controlled such that the objectives of reactive power minimization and tracking the desired generator torque are achieved. Two main hindrances in designing the control systems are the uncertainties and the lack of sufficient information on measurements. Therefore robust performance of designed controllers against the model uncertainties is investigated.     

Application of bamboo laminates in large-scale wind turbine blade design?

From the viewpoint of material and structure in the design of bamboo blades of large-scale wind turbine, a series of mechanical property tests of bamboo laminates as the major enhancement materials for blades are presented. The basic mechanical characteristics needed in the design of bamboo blades are brie?y introduced. Based on these data, the aerodynamic-structural integrated design of a 1.5 MW wind turbine bamboo blade relying on a conventional platform of upwind, variable speed, variable pitch, and doubly-fed generator is carried out. The process of the structural layer design of bamboo blades is documented in detail. The structural strength and fatigue life of the designed wind turbine blades are certified. The technical issues raised from the design are discussed. Key problems and direction of the future study are also summarized.

Investigation of horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) blade three-dimensional rotational e?ect based on ?eld experiments?

Field experiments are performed on a two-bladed 33 kW horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). The pressures are measured with 191 pressure sensors positioned around the surfaces of seven spanwise section airfoils on one of the two blades. Three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) numerical simulations are performed, respectively, on the rotor and the seven airfoils of the blade. The results are compared with the experimental results of the pressure distribution on the seven airfoils and the lift coe?cients. The 3D rotational e?ect on the blade aerodynamic characteristics is then studied with a numerical approach. Finally, some conclusions are drawn as follows. From the tip to the root of the blade, the experimental di?erential pressure of the blade section airfoil increases at ?rst and then decreases gradually. The calculated 3D result of the pressure distribution on the blade surface is closer to that of the experiment than the 2D result. The 3D rotational e?ect has a signi?cant impact on the blade surface ?ow and the aerodynamic load, leading to an increase of the di?erential pressure on the airfoils and their lift coe?cient than that with the 2D one because of the stall delay. The in?uence of the 3D rotational e?ect on the wind turbine blade especially takes place on the sections with ?ow separation.     

Progress in wind tunnel experimental techniques for wind turbine?

Based on the unsteady aerodynamics experiment (UAE) phase VI and the model experiment in controlled conditions (MEXICO) projects and the related research carried out in China Aerodynamic Research and Development Center (CARDC), the recent progress in the wind tunnel experimental techniques for the wind turbine is sum-marized. Measurement techniques commonly used for di?erent types of wind tunnel ex-periments for wind turbine are reviewed. Important research achievements are discussed, such as the wind tunnel disturbance, the equivalence of the airfoil in?ow condition, the three-dimensional (3D) e?ect, the dynamic in?ow in?uence, the ?ow ?eld structure, and the vortex induction. The corresponding research at CARDC and some ideas on the large wind turbine are also introduced.     

A general mathematical model for continuous generating machining of screw rotors with worm-shaped tools

Screw rotors play a crucial role in the performance of compressors. For the large-batch production of small- or medium-sized rotors, continuously rotor hobbing or grinding may be more efficient than form machining. In this study, a general mathematical model was developed for the generating machining of screw rotors with a worm-shaped tool. A two-parameter enveloping theory was applied to simulate the cutting process as the tool conducts polynomial feed motion considering its cutting edge. The normal errors of the generated cutting lines were computed and presented on the rotor tooth surface topologies to show the correctness and practicability of the proposed model.     

Influence of pitching on performance of VAWTs

Self- starting is the major obstacle to be overcome for successful design of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). In the past has been suggested that pitching the turbine blades such that pitch angle is not 90 degrees allows for self-starting. To understand the physics surrounding pitching, an analysis is carried out for a common airfoil profile, NACA 0012. The vortex model is used to predict aerodynamic performance of VAWT with pitched blades at various angles. As a result of the analysis carried out for the airfoil at various pitch angles, it was shown that the “dead band” phenomenon could be overcome, but only slightly. At the same time, to overcome the “dead band” with a level on confidence, torques in the tip speed ratio (TSR ) range of 0.75 to 2.75 must be increased to values further above zero. The paper aimed at giving an insight into the small wind turbine starting behavior and its influence parameters. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
