This paper presents aeromechanical evaluation of a blade (length, 50 m) of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT). Aerodynamic module combines three-dimensional non-linear lifting surface theory approach and a two-dimensional ...

This paper discusses the aspects relating the geometric discretization of anisotropic wind turbine blade cross sections via line elements and the calculation of its mechanical properties. The geometrical reconstruction of ...

An aeromechanical evaluation of large (over 1 Mw of nominal power) Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT’s) is performed is this paper. The strategy is based on the combination of an aerodynamic module, which provides the ...

Research and technology available for small wind turbines is still dependent on further development in order to meet the varied demands brought by the applications for which they are used. Taking into account the importance ...

In order to make it possible to use micro wind generators, it is appropriate to passively control the pitch angle. To make this control using composite materials through aeroelastic tailoring it is necessary to know the ...
