A vortex lattice program for steady state aerodynamic analysis of wind turbine blade load.
(Departamento de Mecánica, 2010-11-29)
This paper presents a revised MATLAB program for estimating the subsonic
aerodynamic characteristics of an optimal design of wind turbine blades using the Vortex
Lattice Method (VLM). The aerodynamic characteristics of ...
Application of the inverse finite element method to design wind turbine blades
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
This paper presents a novel methodology to design wind turbine blades using the Inverse Finite Element Method (IFEM). IFEM takes as domain of analysis the geometry of the blade after large elastic deformations caused by ...
X-ray image comparison of wind turbine blade waste and eps waste used as aggregates in Portland cement concrete
(2017-01-01)
Transforming industrial wastes into construction materials through recycling is a feasible alternative that contributes to reduce the consumption of natural resources. Besides, modern civil construction seeks strong ...
On the sources of cyclic loads in horizontal-axis wind turbines: The role of blade-section misalignment
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-03)
In this paper we investigate the sources of cyclic loads affecting the structural solicitation and power production in Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines, in particular the role of blade-section misalignment. These loads could ...
Structural analysis of wind-turbine blades by a generalized Timoshenko beam model
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2010-02)
An important aspect in wind-turbine technology nowadays is to reduce the uncertainties related to blade dynamics by the improvement of the quality of numerical simulations of the fluid-structure interaction process. A ...
An optimization method based on the evolutionary and topology approaches to reduce the mass of composite wind turbine blades
(Springer, 2020-08)
The design of large and lightweight wind turbines is a current challenge in the wind energy industry. In this context, this work aims to present a novel methodology to reduce the mass of composite wind turbine blades by ...
The adaptive-blade concept in wind-power applications
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
One of the technological challenges in wind power is the development of a next generation of feasible upscaled turbines of cheaper construction that may further reduce generation costs. But limitations in the current blade ...
Wind turbine load analysis of a full range LPV controller
(Elsevier Science, 2020-01)
A wind turbine load analysis featuring both fatigue and extreme loads for a full range Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controller is presented in this paper. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5 MW reference ...
