Damping Wind and Wave Loads on a Floating Wind Turbine
Offshore wind energy capitalizes on the higher and less turbulent wind speeds at sea. To enable deployment of wind turbines in deep-water locations, structures are being explored, where wind turbines are placed on a floating platform. This combined structure presents a new control problem, due to the partly unconstrained movement of the platform and ocean wave excitation. If this additional com...
متن کاملWind turbine end-of-life:
Wind power is growing fast all over the world, and in Sweden alone thousands of turbines has been installed the last few decades. Although the number of decommissioned turbines so far is very low, the rapid installation rate indicates that a similar rapid decommissioning rate is to be expected shortly. If the waste material from these turbines is not handled sustainably the whole concept of win...
متن کاملModelling of transient wind turbine loads during pitch motion
In connection with the design of wind turbines and their control algorithms, the transient loads, especially generated by time varying blade loads, are very important. In the Blade Element Momentum method, the most widespread tool in the wind turbine industry, the time constants necessary to describe these problems are not an inherent part of the model. In the present study two different approa...
متن کاملAnalysis of Wind Turbine Blade Vibration and Drivetrain Loads
ANALYSIS OF WIND TURBINE BLADE VIBRATION AND DRIVETRAIN LOADS By Venkatanarayanan Ramakrishnan The reliability of wind turbines is a major issue for the industry. Drivetrain and blade failures are common, costly and not fully understood. Designers must thus examine and understand the key parameters that influence reliability. As wind turbines increase in size, the blades are designed to be more...
متن کاملMeasured wind turbine loads and their dependence on inflow parameters
The Long-Term Inflow and Structural Test (LIST) program is gathering inflow and structural response data on a Westinghouse 600-kW wind turbine located at a test site near Boulder, Colorado. Data from 1043 ten-minute time segments are analyzed here to determine the dependency of fatigue and extreme loads on inflow parameters. Flap and edge bending moment ranges at the blade root are studied as t...
