Periodic pulsations from a three-bladed wind turbine

In this paper, periodic power pulsations from a three-bladed wind turbine are analyzed. The influence of wind shear, wind speed, turbulence intensity, rotor position and tower oscillation is investigated. No clear dependence between the periodic power components and the wind shear or turbulence intensity has been verified. The investigated turbine sometimes produces large power pulsations at the tower resonance frequency. These occur when the turbine oscillates in the sideways direction of the nacelle

The concept of a smart wind turbine system

A smart wind turbine concept with variable length blades and an innovative hybrid mechanical-electrical power conversion system was analyzed. The variable length blade concept uses the idea of extending the turbine blades when wind speeds fall below rated level, hence increasing the swept area, and thus maintaining a relatively high power output. It is shown for a typical site, that the annual energy output of such a wind turbine that could double its blade length, could be twice that of a corresponding turbine with fixed length blades. From a cost analysis, it is shown that the concept would be feasible if the cost of the rotor could be kept less than 4.3 times the cost of a standard rotor with fixed length blades. Given the variable length blade turbine system exhibits a more-or-less linear maximum power curve, as opposed to a non-linear curve for the standard turbine, an innovative hybrid mechanical-electrical power conversion system was proposed and tested proving the feasibility of the concept.

Life cycle assessment of a multi-megawatt wind turbine

At the present moment in time, renewable energy sources have achieved great significance for modern day society. The main reason for this boom is the need to use alternative sources of energy to fossil fuels which are free of CO₂ emissions and contamination. Among the current renewable energy sources, the growth of wind farms has been spectacular. Wind power uses the kinetic energy of the wind to produce a clean form of energy without producing contamination or emissions. The problem it raises is that of quantifying to what extent it is a totally clean form of energy. In this sense we have to consider not only the emissions produced while they are in operation, but also the contamination and environmental impact resulting from their manufacture and the future dismantling of the turbines when they come to the end of their working life. The aim of this study is to analyse the real impact that this technology has if we consider the whole life cycle. The application of the ISO 14040 standard [ISO. ISO 14040. Environmental management – life cycle assessment – principles and framework. Geneva, Switzerland: International Standard Organization; 1998.] allows us to make an LCA study quantifying the overall impact of a wind turbine and each of its components.Applying this methodology, the wind turbine is analysed during all the phases of its life cycle, from cradle to grave, with regard to the manufacture of its key components (through the incorporation of cut-off criteria), transport to the wind farm, subsequent installation, start-up, maintenance and final dismantling and stripping down into waste materials and their treatment.     

Study of aerodynamical interference for a wind turbine

A two-dimensional interference model of upwind wind turbine, based on NREL Phase VI, was simulated by an available Navier–Stokes solver under parallel process. The simulation domain was divided into a stationary tower domain and a sliding blade domain with varying geometric factors, including blade chord to tower diameter ratio and tower-blade gap to tower diameter ratio, to figure out the unsteady problem. The turbulence model was treated with SST k–ω turbulence model and the boundary layers around the solid walls were refined by the y⁺ value. The simulated results of velocity field were compared with the potential cylinder flow, and some phenomena were exhibited, including the movement of stagnation point of tower, the skewed wake of tower and the excess of velocity in the field. The lift force coefficient of blade was different from the ideal angle of attack for the blade passing in front of the potential cylinder flow.     

Innovative improvement of a drag wind turbine performance

Drag type wind turbines have strong potential in small and medium power applications due to their simple design. However, a major disadvantage of this design is the noticeable low conversion efficiency. Therefore, more research is required to improve the efficiency of this design. The present work introduces a novel design of a three-rotor Savonius turbine with rotors arranged in a triangular pattern. The performance of the new design is assessed by computational modeling of the flow around the three rotors. The 2D computational model is firstly applied to investigate the performance of a single rotor design to validate the model by comparison with experimental measurements. The model introduced an acceptable accuracy compared to the experimental measurements. The performance of the new design is then investigated using the same model. The results indicated that the new design performance has higher power coefficient compared with single rotor design. The peak power coefficient of the three rotor turbine is 44% higher than that of the single rotor design (relative increase). The improved performance is attributed to the favorable interaction between the rotors which accelerates the flow approaching the downstream rotors and generates higher turning moment in the direction of rotation of each rotor.     

LCA sensitivity analysis of a multi-megawatt wind turbine

During recent years renewables have been acquiring gradually a significant importance in the world market (especially in the Spanish energetic market) and in society; this fact makes clear the need to increase and improve knowledge of these power sources. Starting from the results of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a multi-megawatt wind turbine, this work is aimed to assess the relevance of different choices that have been made during its development. Looking always to cover the largest possible spectrum of options, four scenarios have been analysed, focused on four main phases of lifecycle: maintenance, manufacturing, dismantling, and recycling. These scenarios facilitate to assess the degree of uncertainty of the developed LCA due to choices made, excluding from the assessment the uncertainty due to the inaccuracy and the simplification of the environmental models used or spatial and temporal variability in different parameters. The work has been developed at all times using the of Eco-indicator99 LCA method.

Three-dimensional thermal modeling of a photovoltaic module under varying conditions

Photovoltaic technology provides the direct method to convert solar energy into electricity. Modeling and simulation plays a very important role in the development of PV devices as well as in the design of PV systems. The objective of the current work was to develop a novel thermal model to simulate the thermal performance of PV modules with and without cooling. The model was sequentially coupled with a radiation model and an electrical model to calculate the electrical performance of the PV panels. Using the developed model, various studies were performed to evaluate the electrical and thermal performance of the module under different environmental and operating conditions with and without cooling. Results show that the performance of the PV panel with cooling had very little influence of increasing absorbed radiation (200–1000 W/m²) at a constant ambient temperature (25 °C) and increasing ambient temperature (0–50 °C) at an absorbed radiation of 800 W/m². For the same variation in conditions, the performance of the panel without any cooling reduced significantly.     

Assessment of wind characteristics and wind turbine characteristics in Taiwan

Wind characteristics and wind turbine characteristics in Taiwan have been thoughtfully analyzed based on a long-term measured data source (1961–1999) of hourly mean wind speed at 25 meteorological stations across Taiwan. A two-stage procedure for estimating wind resource is proposed. The yearly wind speed distribution and wind power density for the entire Taiwan is firstly evaluated to provide annually spatial mean information of wind energy potential. A mathematical formulation using a two-parameter Weibull wind speed distribution is further established to estimate the wind energy generated by an ideal turbine and the monthly actual wind energy generated by a wind turbine operated at cubic relation of power between cut-in and rated wind speed and constant power between rated and cut-out wind speed. Three types of wind turbine characteristics (the availability factor, the capacity factor and the wind turbine efficiency) are emphasized. The monthly wind characteristics and monthly wind turbine characteristics for four meteorological stations with high winds are investigated and compared with each other as well. The results show the general availability of wind energy potential across Taiwan.
