Damping Control

For a wind energy generator, the most significant factor which decreases the working life of it is the vibration from the rotating turbine blades under wind. In this paper, we do modeling and simulating in the constrained layer damping (CLD) approach, which is called passive control. Here, we use software PRO/ENGINEER to design and model a wind turbine blade before using COMSOL to simulate the dynamic motion of the wind turbine blade and its interaction with aerodynamic force of wind in finite element method. Some different models are built, the original turbine blade and the turbine blade with damping patches on different location and quantity. Then, according to the simulation results, we compare the effects of passive damping control in defferent patches locations and quantities under different wind speed. This research can provide us foundation and comparision with our future study which is related to the piezoelectric layer damping (PLD).

Turbulence Effect

In this paper, the entity model of a 1.5 MW offshore wind turbine blade was built by Pro/Engineer software. Fluid flow control equations described by arbitrary Lagrange–Euler (ALE) were established, and the theoretical model of geometrically nonlinear vibration characteristics under fluid–structure interaction (FSI) was given. The simulation of offshore turbulent wind speed was achieved by programming in Matlab. The brandish displacement, the Mises stress distribution and nonlinear dynamic response curves were obtained. Furthermore, the influence of turbulence and FSI on blade dynamic characteristics was studied. The results show that the response curves of maximum brandish displacement and maximum Mises stress present the attenuation trends. The region of the maximum displacement and maximum stress and their variations at different blade positions are revealed. It was shown that the contribution of turbulence effect (TE) on displacement and stress is smaller than that of the FSI effect, and its extent of contribution is related to the relative span length. In addition, it was concluded that the simulation considering bidirectional FSI (BFSI) can reflect the vibration characteristics of wind turbine blades more accurately.

Transition Modeling

This paper present recent advances in the development of local correlation based laminar–to–turbulent transition modeling relying on the Spalart–Allmaras equation. Such models are extremely important for the flow regimes involved in wind energy applications. Indeed, fully turbulent flow models are not completely reliable to predict the aerodynamic force coefficients. This is particularly significant for the wind turbine blade sections. In this paper, we focus our attention on two different transitional flow models for Reynolds–Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. It is worth noting that this is a crucial aspect because standard RANS models assume a fully turbulent regime. Thus, our approaches couple the well–known γ– technique and logγ equation with the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model in order to overcome the common drawbacks of standard techniques. The effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness of the above-mentioned methods are tested and discussed by computing several flow fields developing around airfoils operating at Reynolds numbers typical of wind turbine blade sections.

Aeroelastic Model

This work presents a new aeroelastic model that governs the extensional, chordwise, flapwise, and torsional vibrations of an isolated horizontal axis wind turbine blade. The model accounts for the sectional offsets between the shear, aerodynamic, and mass centers. The centrifugal stiffening effects are also accounted for by including nonlinear strains based on an ordering scheme that retains terms up to second-order. Aerodynamic loading is derived based on a modified Theodorsen's theory adapted to account for the blade rotational motion. A set of four coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are derived using the Hamiltonian approach that are then linearized about the steady-state extensional position. The finite element method (FEM) is then employed to spatially discretize the resulting equations with the aim of obtaining an approximate solution to the blade's dynamic response, utilizing state space techniques and complex modal analysis. Investigation of the blade's flutter stability limit is carried out. Effects of parameters such as wind speed and blade sectional offsets on the flutter limit and dynamic response are also investigated.

In this paper, large scale wind turbine blade has been taken for example and two harmful conditions have been chosen as the study targets. Taking a 25 m long wind turbine blade, its solid model is built in CAE. Then take advantage of Computational Fluid Dynamics software-FLUENT to analyze and simulate wind pressure of blade surface acted by aerodynamic force. By means of the numerical method to make curve fitting to bring wind pressure to bear on each cross section of blade accurately, and import it into ANSYS to do further analytical work. It shows that the work should be the firm foundation for further analysis of the wind turbine blade.
