Background:
The wind turbine is divided into a horizontal axis and a vertical axis depending
on the relative positions of the rotating shaft and the ground. The advantage of the choke
wind turbine is that the starting torque is large and the starting performance is good. The disadvantage
is that the rotation resistance is large, the rotation speed is low, the asymmetric flow occurs
when the wind wheel rotates, the lateral thrust is generated, and the wind energy utilization rate is
lowered. How to improve the wind energy utilization rate of the resistance wind turbine is an important
issue to be solved by the wind power technology.
Objective:
The nautilus isometric spiral wind turbines studied in this paper have been introduced
and analyzed in detail, preparing for the further flow analysis and layout of wind turbines, improving
the wind energy utilization rate of wind turbines, introducing patents of other structures and output
characteristics of its generator set.
Methods:
Combined with the flow field analysis of ANSYS CFX software, the numerical simulation
of the new wind turbine was carried out, and the aerodynamic performance of the new vertical
axis wind turbine was analyzed. The mathematical model and control model of the generator were
established by the maximum power control method, and the accuracy of the simulation results was
verified by the measured data.
Results:
The basic parameters of the new wind turbine tip speed ratio, torque coefficient and wind
energy utilization coefficient are analyzed. Changes in wind speed, pressure and eddy viscosity were
investigated. Three-dimensional distribution results of wake parameters such as wind speed and
pressure are obtained. By simulating the natural wind speed, the speed and output current of the
generator during normal operation are obtained.
Conclusion:
By analyzing the wind performance and power generation characteristics of the new
wind turbine, the feasibility of the new wind turbine is determined, which provides reference and
reference for the optimal design and development of the wind turbine structure.
