Amorphing downwind-aligned rotor concept based on a 13-MW wind turbine
To alleviate the mass-scaling issues associated with conventional upwind rotors of extreme-scale wind turbines (≥10MW), a morphing downwind-aligned rotor (MoDaR) concept is proposed herein. The concept employs a downwind rotor with blades whose elements are stiff (no intentional flexibility) but with hub-joints that can be unlocked to allow for momentfree downwind alignment. Aligning the combin...
متن کاملDownwind and upwind effects in the Arizona cloud-seeding experiment.
The principal subject of this report is a comparison of precipitation on days with seeding with that without seeding, averaged over those rain gauges that on each particular day were "downwind," "upwind," or to the sides. Two estimates of relevant wind directions are used, based on successive radiosondes at Tucson that bracketed the scheduled time of seeding. By use of these radiosondes, the ap...
متن کاملImpact of flow inclination on downwind turbine loads and power
Wind turbines frequently operate under situations of pronounced flow inclinations, such as in complex terrain. In the present work the performance and rotor thrust of downwind and upwind turbines in upward and downward flow inclinations are experimentally investigated. In an upward flow inclination of +13°, downwind turbines are shown to have a 29% larger power output than a corresponding upwin...
متن کاملA Design Configuration and Optimization for a Multi Rotor
Multi rotor UAVs offer great potential wide range of challenging applications due to the high manoeuvrability and to the potential to hover, take off and fly in small areas. Nevertheless, their design is in some way critical. The main concern is their inadequate level of handling qualities due to the intrinsic instabilities of this type of small size vehicles. A specific hardware with a control...
متن کاملWind tunnel tests of a free yawing downwind wind turbine
This research paper presents preliminary results on a behavioural study of a free yawing downwind wind turbine. A series of wind tunnel tests was performed at the TU Delft Open Jet Facility with a three bladed downwind wind turbine and a rotor radius of 0.8 meters. The setup includes an off the shelf three bladed hub, nacelle and generator on which relatively flexible blades are mounted. The to...
