Vibration analysis of tower of onshore wind turbine

Wind Turbine Tower Resonance

Wind turbine towers are large structures designed to withstand the unique loading conditions imposed on them by the turbine’s nacelle and dynamic forces from the rotating blades. Observations and noise measurements of a particular wind turbine showed high noise levels at approximately 48 Hz, which could not be explained from the usual known potential noise sources. Correlated far field noise me...

Analysis of Wind Turbine Blade Vibration and Drivetrain Loads

ANALYSIS OF WIND TURBINE BLADE VIBRATION AND DRIVETRAIN LOADS By Venkatanarayanan Ramakrishnan The reliability of wind turbines is a major issue for the industry. Drivetrain and blade failures are common, costly and not fully understood. Designers must thus examine and understand the key parameters that influence reliability. As wind turbines increase in size, the blades are designed to be more...

Wind Turbine Tower Vibration Modeling and Monitoring by the Nonlinear State Estimation Technique (NSET)

With appropriate vibration modeling and analysis the incipient failure of key components such as the tower, drive train and rotor of a large wind turbine can be detected. In this paper, the Nonlinear State Estimation Technique (NSET) has been applied to model turbine tower vibration to good effect, providing an understanding of the tower vibration dynamic characteristics and the main factors in...
