Wind 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...
متن کاملClosed-Loop Control Wind Tunnel Tests on an Adaptive Wind Turbine Blade for Load Reduction
Wind tunnel tests on a non-rotating, dynamically scaled wind turbine blade equipped with variable trailing edge geometry were carried out. The effectiveness of the system for active load reduction purposes, with the interaction between structural dynamics, aerodynamics and control was tested. The actuation of the adaptive trailing edge was based on a piezoelectric bender actuator. The full aero...
متن کاملAtmospheric Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Applications in Wind Turbine Siting
Atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnels (ABLWTs) have been used for 40 years to simulate the interaction of the wind and earth in the lowest few hundred meters of the atmosphere. ABLWTs are well-suited for investigating flow in complex terrain and have different strengths and weaknesses than numerical modeling. There are a wide variety of applications, including performing wind resource assessm...
متن کاملAn Investigation on Performance of Shrouding a Small Wind Turbine with a Simple Ring in a Wind Tunnel
Ducted wind turbines are a kind of small wind turbine having a diffuser or any other shape around the rotor which increases the air flow through the blades and absorbs more power. In the present study, a small wind turbine was ducted with a relatively simple ring and its performance was investigated in a wind tunnel. The duct is shaped using rolling steel sheets on a sloping surface and finally...
متن کاملWind tunnel experiments of tracer dispersion downwind from a small-scale physical model of a landfill
Wind tunnel experiments have been carried out on a small-scale physical model of a municipal waste landfill (MWL) in the CRIACIV (Research Centre of Building Aerodynamics and Wind Engineering) “environmental” wind tunnel in Prato (Italy). The MWL model simulates a landfill whose surface is higher than the surrounding surface, applying a 1:200 scaling factor. Modelling an area source such as lan...
