Smart Rotor Modeling - Aero-Servo-Elastic Modeling Of A Smart Rotor With Adaptive Trailing Edge Flaps

by Leonardo Bergami

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 <p>A <i>smart rotor</i> is a wind turbine rotor that, through a combination of sensors, control units and actuators actively reduces the variation of the aerodynamic loads it has to withstand. Smart rotors feature promising load alleviation potential and might provide the technological breakthrough required by the next generation of large wind turbine rotors.</p><p>The book presents the <i>aero-servo-elastic </i>model of a smart rotor with Adaptive Trailing Edge Flaps for active load alleviation and provides an insight on the rotor aerodynamic, structural and control modeling. A novel model for the unsteady aerodynamics of an air foil section with flap is presented and coupled with a multi-body structural representation. A smart rotor configuration is proposed, where the Adaptive Trailing Edge Flaps extend along the outer 20 % of the blade span. Linear Quadratic and Model Predictive algorithms are formulated to control the flap deflection. The potential of the smart rotor is finally confirmed by simulations in a turbulent wind field. A significant reduction of the fatigue loads on the blades is reported: the flaps, which cover no more than 1.5 % of the blade surface, reduce the fatigue load by 15 %; a combination of flap and individual pitch control allows for fatigue reductions up to 30 %.</p>

Long-Term Research Challenges In Wind Energy - A Research Agenda By The European Academy Of Wind Energy

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book presents the view of European wind energy experts on the long-term research challenges to be solved in order to develop wind energy beyond the applications of today and tomorrow. By this book, the European Academy of Wind Energy (eawe), representing universities and institutes with a significant windenergy programme in 14 countries, wants to:</p><ul> <li>identify current technological and scientific barriers and to stimulate new creative ideas to overcome these barriers</li> <li>define priorities for future scientific research</li> <li>rethink our scientific view of wind energy<li>stimulate the cooperation among researchers in fundamental and applied sciences towards wind energy research</li> </ul> <p>The eawe has discussed these long-term research with an explicit focus on a longer-term perspective, in contrast toresearch agendas addressing short- to medium-term research activities. In other words, this long-term research agenda is driven by problems and curiosity, addressing basic research and fundamental knowledge in 11 research areas, ranging from physics and design to environmental and societal aspects. </p><p>Because of the very nature of this initiative, thisdocument does not intend to be permanent or complete. It shows the vision of the experts of the European Academy of Wind Energy, but other viewsmay be possible. The eawe sincerely hopes that it will spur an even more intensive discussion worldwide within thewind energy community. </p>

Wind Energy - Impact Of Turbulence

171,59€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book presents the results of the seminar "Wind Energy and the Impact of Turbulence on the Conversion Process" which was supported from three societies, namely the EUROMech, EAWE and ERCOFATC and took place in Oldenburg, Germany in spring 2012.</p><p>The seminar was one of the first scientific meetings devoted to the common topic of wind energy and basic turbulence. The established community of researchers working on the challenging puzzle of turbulence for decades met the quite young community of researchers, who face the upcoming challenges in the fast growing field of wind energy applications.</p><p>From the fluid mechanical point of view, wind turbines are large machines operating in the fully turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. In particular they are facing small-scale turbulent inflow conditions. It is one of the central puzzles in basic turbulence research to achieve a fundamental understanding of the peculiarities of small-scale turbulence. This book helps to better understand the resulting aerodynamics around the wind turbine’s blades and the forces transmitted into the machinery in this context of puzzling inflow conditions. This is a big challenge due to the multi-scale properties of the incoming wind field ranging from local flow conditions on the profile up to the interaction of wake flows in wind farms.</p>
