Aim: To give a general introduction to the aerodynamics and elastic behaviour of a modern wind turbine. Further, the placement of wind turbines with rspect to fatigue, annual power production and noise will be adressed. also the elastic interaction of the blades with the flow around the blades is treated.
|
|
Contents: Placement: windatlas, atmospheric boundary layer and turbulence, influence of the terrain and annual wind distribution. Aerodynamics: Two-dimensional aerodynamics and three-dimensional effects. Use of strip theory to determine the energy production for a rotor with a given twist and chord distribution. Control of a wind turbine (stall-, pitch-, and variabel speed control). Structure: Aerodynamic and inertial loads. Computation of the fatigue loads. Grid connections or standalone application as wind diesel or pumps
