Process Modeling of Composite Materials for Wind-Turbine Rotor Blades: Experiments and Numerical Modeling
The production of rotor blades for wind turbines is still a predominantly manual process. Process simulation is an adequate way of improving blade quality without a significant increase in production costs. This paper introduces a module for tolerance simulation for rotor-blade production processes. The investigation focuses on the simulation of temperature distribution for one-sided, self-heat...
متن کاملCFD Analysis on Aerodynamic Design Optimization of Wind Turbine Rotor Blades
Wind energy has been shown to be one of the most viable sources of renewable energy. With current technology, the low cost of wind energy is competitive with more conventional sources of energy such as coal. Most blades available for commercial grade wind turbines incorporate a straight span-wise profile and airfoil shaped cross sections. These blades are found to be very efficient at lower win...
متن کاملHolistic Approach for Structural Integrity Evaluation of Composite Main Rotor Blades
This work presents modern approach for damage detection in the composite main rotor blades MRB of helicopters. All inspections were made with the use automated systems based on Personal Computer – acquisition and database collection. Non Destructive Testing Methods used for the purpose of that work were the following: • qualitative: shearography, DAIS; • quantitative: Mechanical Impedance Analy...
متن کاملAerodynamic and Structural Integrated Optimization Design of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Blades
A procedure based on MATLAB combined with ANSYS is presented and utilized for the aerodynamic and structural integrated optimization design of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) blades. Three modules are used for this purpose: an aerodynamic analysis module using the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory, a structural analysis module employing the Finite Element Method (FEM) and a multi-objectiv...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Aerodynamic and Structural Optimization of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Blades
A procedure based on MATLAB combined with ANSYS is presented and utilized for the multi-objective aerodynamic and structural optimization of horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades. In order to minimize the cost of energy (COE) and improve the overall performance of the blades, materials of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) combined with glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) are applied...
