Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Wind Turbine Blades for Fatigue Life under Wind Load Uncertainty
1. Abstract Conventional wind turbine blades have been designed using fatigue life predictions based on a fixed wind load distribution that does not fully capture uncertainty of the wind load. This could result in early fatigue failure of blades and eventually increase the maintenance cost of wind turbines. To produce reliable as well as economical wind turbine blades, this paper studies reliab...
متن کاملMaterials for Wind Turbine Blades: An Overview
A short overview of composite materials for wind turbine applications is presented here. Requirements toward the wind turbine materials, loads, as well as available materials are reviewed. Apart from the traditional composites for wind turbine blades (glass fibers/epoxy matrix composites), natural composites, hybrid and nanoengineered composites are discussed. Manufacturing technologies for win...

متن کاملApplication of guide blades for improving performance of savonius wind turbine
Application of guide blades is an appropriate method for improving aerodynamic performance of savonius wind turbine. Guide blades gather the wind energy around the turbine and guide them into the concave side of savonius rotor. In this paper, numerical investigation is conducted for evaluating effect of the guide blades on the performance of savonius turbine. Aerodynamic performance of the turb...
متن کاملOccupational exposures to styrene vapor in a manufacturing plant for fiber-reinforced composite wind turbine blades.
OBJECTIVES A utility-scale wind turbine blade manufacturing plant requested assistance from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in controlling worker exposures to styrene at a plant that produced 37 and 42 m long fiber-reinforced wind turbine blades. The plant requested NIOSH assistance because previous air sampling conducted by the company indicated concerns about...
