this study investigated the performance and aeroelastic characteristics of a wind turbine blade based on strongly coupled approach (two-way fluid structure interaction) to simulate the transient fsi1 responses of hawt2. aerodynamic response was obtained by 3d cfd-urans approach and structural response was obtained by 3d finite element method. aeroelastic responses of the blade were obtained by ...

Wind energy is becoming a potential source for renewable and clean energy. An important factor that contributes to efficient generation of wind power is the use of appropriate wind turbine. However, the task of selecting an appropriate, site-specific turbine is a complex problem. The complexity is due to the presence of several conflicting decision criteria in the decision process. Therefore, a...

Wind turbines are subject to variable aerodynamic loads and extreme environmental conditions. Wind turbine components fail frequently, resulting in high maintenance costs. For this reason, gearbox condition monitoring becomes important since gearboxes are among the wind turbine components with the most frequent failure observations. The major challenge here is the detection of faults under the ...

As an important part of s mart grid, microgrid(MG) is a new form of s mart grid in the future. Microgrid(MG) technology can effectively integrate the advantages of new energy and renewable energy generation and provide a novel way for large-scale applicat ions of new energy and renewable energy connecting to grid. This paper deals with the problem of economic operation of microsources in the mi...

Structural responses and power output of a wind turbine are strongly affected by the wind field acting on the wind turbine. Knowledge about the wind field and its variations is essential not only for designing, but also for cost-efficiently managing wind turbines. Wind field monitoring collects and stores wind field time series data. Over time the amount of data can be overwhelming. Furthermore...

Analyzing the strain signal of wind turbine blade is key to studying load blade, so as ensure safe and stable operation in natural environment. The under continuous crosswind state has typical non-stationary unsteady characteristics. contains a lot noise, which makes analysis error. Therefore, it very important denoise extract features measured signals before analysis. In this paper, joint algo...

Modern wind farms comprised of horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) require significant land resources to separate each wind turbine from the adjacent turbine wakes. This aerodynamic constraint limits the amount of power that can be extracted from a given wind farm footprint. The resulting inefficiency of HAWT farms is currently compensated by using taller wind turbines to access greater wind ...

The shape of wake behind a wind turbine is normally assumed to have a hat shape for the models used in wind farm layout optimization purposes; however, it is know from experimental tests and numerical simulations that this is not a real assumption. In reality, the results of actual measurements and detailed numerical simulation show that the velocity in wake region has a S-shape profile. The pr...

the winD inDustry has experienceD a rapid expansion. As wind farms are aging, their operations and maintenance issues are gaining in significance. The wind industry has been affected by failures of wind turbine components such as main bearings, gearboxes, and generators. Replacement of failed components results in the high cost in energy production. Therefore, research in fault identification a...

An experimental study was performed to examine the wake characteristics and aeromechanic performance of an innovative twin-rotor wind turbine (TRWT) in comparison with those of a conventional single-rotor wind turbine (SRWT). The comparative study was conducted in a large-scale Aerodynamic/Atmospheric Boundary Layer (AABL) wind tunnel with the TRWT and SRWT model sited in simulated atmospheric ...
