Wind Turbine Blade Aerodynamic Design and Optimization

Wind turbine blade is an important component to capture wind energy and converse energy. Basing on Wilson optimization method and engineering pratice, 2MW wind turbine blade’s aerodynamic profile is designed. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the resonance damage, top 10 rank modal frequencies and displacement gradient distribution contours are obtained through modal analysis. The results show that blade’s natural frequency does not coincide with the external excitation frequency, which avoids the resonance damage. Blade’s major vibration forms are waving and shimmy, requiring the ability of excellent resisting torsion. Therefore, the design should enhance bending stiffness of the blade. This paper provides an effective method for large wind turbine blades’ design and optimization.

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

This paper presents a dynamic response analysis of the blade of horizontal axis wind turbines using finite element method. The blade is treated as a thin-walled beam based on the classical lamination theory, and accounts for arbitrary material layup and non-linear anisotropic fibre-reinforced composites. Applying the proposed method,A 29 m rotor blade, previously reported in specialized literature, was chosen as a case study the dynamic behaviour built in a FEM software tool. It is developed to predict natural frequencies and corresponding vibration modes in rotating blade in-plane and out-of-plane. Numerical results are serve as a design tool for the large composite wind turbine blade structure required during design and optimization.
