Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Wind Turbine Blades for Fatigue Life under Wind Load Uncertainty
1. Abstract Conventional wind turbine blades have been designed using fatigue life predictions based on a fixed wind load distribution that does not fully capture uncertainty of the wind load. This could result in early fatigue failure of blades and eventually increase the maintenance cost of wind turbines. To produce reliable as well as economical wind turbine blades, this paper studies reliab...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Performance of the Composite Bamboo/Epoxy Laminated Material for Wind Turbine Blades Technology
Global energy sources such as coal and oil are limited, and the burning of such fossil resources creates pollution problems. Wind energy offers one of several promising clean alternatives to carbon-based fuels. However, the composite materials currently available for producing wind turbine blades cannot accommodate the scale-up of wind energy due to their high price and disposal challenges (e.g...
متن کاملTesting and Condition Monitoring of Composite Wind Turbine Blades
In a wind turbine system, blades are one of the most critical components. They capture energy from wind and convert it to a mechanical energy for electricity power generation. However, once the blades are defective, the power generation efficiency of the turbine will be significantly affected. In worse case when the blade is seriously damaged, the turbine will have to be shut down completely fo...
متن کاملAerodynamic Optimal Design of Wind Turbine Blades using Genetic Algorithm
Wind power has been widely considered and utilized in recent years as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In the current research study, aerodynamic analysis of the upwind three-bladed horizontal axis turbine is carried out using blade element momentum theory (BEM), and a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied as an optimization method. Output power generation is considered as an obj...
