Linear stability analysis for an optimum Glauert rotor modelled by an actuator disc
نویسندگان
چکیده
We approximate a wind turbine using the Actuator Disc methodology with loading for an optimum Glauert rotor, and vary blade length and tip speed ratio, to determine base flows for linear stability computations at a Reynolds number of 100. Results from such computations suggest that the least stable mode is axisymmetric and insensitive to changes in tip speed operation, suggesting that the stability properties in the farfield wake for an optimised rotor are independent of the chosen tip speed optimization point. Higher azimuthal modes promote greater variation in velocities and may be relevant to cases at higher Reynolds numbers.

Robust Control of a Quadrotor in the Presence of Actuators' Failure
Today, robots and unmanned aerial vehicles are being used extensively in modern societies. Due to a wide range of applications, it has attracted much attention among scientists over the past decades. This paper deals with the problem of the stability of a four-rotor flying robot called quadrotor, which is an under-actuated system, in the presence of operator or sensor failures. The dynamica...
متن کاملReaching the betz limit experimentally and numerically
The Betz theory expresses that no horizontal axis wind turbine can extract more than 16/27 (59.3%) of the kinetic energy of the wind. The factor 16/27 (0.593) is known as the Betz limit. Horizontal Axis wind turbine designers try to improve the power performance to reach the Betz limit. Modern operational wind turbines achieve at peak 75% to 80% of the Betz limit. In 1919, Albert Betz used an a...
متن کاملOptimal Integral Sliding Mode Controller of a UAV With Considering Actuator Fault
In this paper, using the State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) method, we propose a Robust Optimal Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ROISMC) to guarantee an optimal control law for a quadrotor which has become increasingly important by virtue of its high degrees of manoeuvres ability in presence of unknown time-varying external disturbances and actuator fault. The robustness of the controller...
متن کاملAn Investigation on the Causes of a Rotor Bending and its Thermal Straightening (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Distortion or bend in a turbine rotor (especially HIP rotors) may be caused by a number of factors, either singularly or in combination. In general, the causes of rotor bend can be classified invariably in two categories: Rapidly forming permanent rotor bends and/or Slower forming rotor bends, which could trip the turbines’ emergency stop. One of the major modifying solutions for rapid repairin...
متن کاملRobust Anti-Windup Control Design for PID Controllers–Theory and Experimental Verification
This paper addresses an approximation-based anti-windup (AW) control strategy for suppressing the windup effect caused by actuator saturation nonlinearity in proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controlled systems. The effect of actuator constraint is firstly regarded as a disturbance imported to the PID controller. The external disturbance can then be modeled by a linear differential equatio...
