STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION OF SELF-SUPPORTING TRUSS TOWERS TO SUPPORT A LARGE WIND TURBINE
This article aims to study the self-supporting truss towers used to support large wind turbines. The goal is to evaluate and validate numerically by finite element method the structural analysis when the lattice structures of the towers of wind turbines are subjected to static loads and these from common usage. With this, it is expected to minimize the cost of transportation and installation of...
متن کاملDamage tolerance and structural monitoring for wind turbine blades.
The paper proposes a methodology for reliable design and maintenance of wind turbine rotor blades using a condition monitoring approach and a damage tolerance index coupling the material and structure. By improving the understanding of material properties that control damage propagation it will be possible to combine damage tolerant structural design, monitoring systems, inspection techniques a...
متن کاملInvestigation of waviness in wind turbine blades: Structural health monitoring
Waviness in composite wind turbine blades was detected and characterized with the help of air coupled ultrasonics. Based on the aspect ratio, the detected marcels are either accepted or rejected. A passive structural health monitoring approach has been presented here to monitor the accepted marcels above a threshold. The fatigue life of specimen is most affected in the presence of a marcel. Hen...
متن کاملIncreased Strength in Wind Turbine Blades through Innovative Structural Design
When a system design approach is applied to wind turbine blades, manufacturing and structural requirements are included along with aerodynamic considerations in the design optimization. The resulting system-driven design includes several innovative structural features such as flat-back airfoils, a constant thickness carbon spar-cap, and a thin, large diameter root. Subscale blades were manufact...
متن کاملThe Analysis of the Aerodynamic Character and Structural Response of Large-Scale Wind Turbine Blades
A process of detailed CFD and structural numerical simulations of the 1.5 MW horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) blade is present. The main goal is to help advance the use of computer-aided simulation methods in the field of design and development of HAWT-blades. After an in-depth study of the aerodynamic configuration and materials of the blade, 3-D mapping software is utilized to reconstruct ...
