A Studyof the Design of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
Authors
Abstract:
In this using paper a method is presented for the aerodynamic and structural analysis of a horizontal axis wind turbine using simplified methods. In the first part of the program the optimum rotor configuration for twist and chord is determined using the momentum and blade element theories for a rotor without coning or tilting and assuming zero drag average wind velocity. Then coning angle and mass distribution are determined from an iterative procedure considering the effect of drag. The equations have further been extended to include the influence of tilting angles and several wind conditions, such as wind gradient, tower shadow and wind shifts. Numerical results obtained with the present method agree well experimental and other numerical data.

full textMultidisciplinary dynamic optimization of horizontal axis wind turbine design
The design of physical (plant) and control aspects of a dynamic system have traditionally been treated as two separate problems, often solved in sequence. Optimizing plant and control design disciplines separately results in sub-optimal system designs that do not capitalize on the synergistic coupling between these disciplines. This coupling is inherent in most actively controlled dynamic syste...

full textA Lattice Boltzmann Method for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Simulation
Operating horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) generate large-scale wake structures that can have considerable impact on downwind turbines. A HAWT exposed to vortices from upwind turbines generally produces reduced power and experiences increased structural vibrations that cause disproportionally accelerated material fatigue. Numerical simulation of the turbulent flow field is a viable approach...

This paper presents an H optimization-based approach for the detection and isolation of faults in a horizontal axis wind turbine. The primary residuals are generated from separate parity equations for each of the blade pitch and drivetrain subsystems. Then, a robust secondary residual filtering scheme is developed to remove undesirable cross coupling in fault-residual pairings while suppressin...
