Integrated airfoil and blade design method for large wind turbines
This paper presents an integrated method for designing airfoil families of large wind turbine blades. For a given rotor diameter and tip speed ratio, the optimal airfoils are designed based on the local speed ratios. To achieve high power performance at low cost, the airfoils are designed with an objective of high Cp and small chord length. When the airfoils are obtained, the optimum flow angle...
متن کاملInverse Design of Blade Shapes for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
An inverse design process is applied to determine blade shapes used in vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The method is based on the modified Garabedian-McFadden technique that uses the deviation of the pressure distribution or the velocity distribution on the surface from a target pressure or velocity distribution, and modifies the blade surface in order to reduce this deviation. The method ...
متن کاملMulti-Element Airfoil Configurations for Wind Turbines
The extremely thick blade root airfoils of the modern megawatt-scale wind turbines are prone to having sharp stall characteristics with associated unsteady aerodynamic blade loading and fatigue. With current technology designs reaching 45% thickness, these thick airfoils are incapable of producing high lift, and as a consequence they are aerodynamically and structurally sub-optimal. A computati...
متن کاملTwo LQRI based Blade Pitch Controls for Wind Turbines
As the wind turbine size has been increasing and their mechanical components are built lighter, the reduction of the structural loads becomes a very important task of wind turbine control in addition to maximum wind power capture. In this paper, we present a separate set of collective and individual pitch control algorithms. Both pitch control algorithms use the LQR control technique with integ...
متن کاملWind Turbine Blade Design
A detailed review of the current state-of-art for wind turbine blade design is presented, including theoretical maximum efficiency, propulsion, practical efficiency, HAWT blade design, and blade loads. The review provides a complete picture of wind turbine blade design and shows the dominance of modern turbines almost exclusive use of horizontal axis rotors. The aerodynamic design principles fo...
