Effect of load reduction mechanisms on loads and blade bearing movements of wind turbines

The power control of wind turbines is usually realized via a change in the pitch angle of the rotor blades. Pitching facilitates the exact control of the turbines and the reliable deceleration of the rotor when required. Pitch movements can moreover be used for load control. One of these methods is called individual pitch control (IPC). IPC controls the blades individually and brings about a significant reduction in the fatigue loads and extreme loads placed on the structural components, while at the same time reducing the yield of the turbine only slightly. The lower loads reduce material costs, and thus, the cost of energy (CoE) is reduced, despite the slight reduction in yield. The method is nevertheless not used everywhere since the additional movement cycles put the rotor blade bearings in particular under stress. Special attention must be paid to small amplitude oscillating movements, which carry a high risk of inducing surface damage in the rolling contacts of the blade bearings. This paper uses a cycle analysis of the IWT7.5‐164 reference turbine to illustrate the differences in the movement patterns of wind turbine blade bearings with and without IPC. Moreover, model calculations with single contacts are used to show which of the movement patterns carries a risk of inducing surface damage. The use of IPC leads to the expected load reduction at the blade root. In current literature, IPC is usually assumed to have a negative influence on the life expectancy of blade bearings, but the findings of this study contradict this. The summed blade bearing movement is increased, although the number of very small pitch angles occurring is reduced. This reduction reduces the risk of wear in the blade bearings.     

Does scientific eminence endure? Making sense of the most cited economists,psychologists and sociologists in textbooks (1970–2010)

This paper examines the concept of textbook eminence and asks whether this specific form of scholarly recognition is of a temporal rather than enduring nature. Based on an analysis of 30 leading textbooks in economics, psychology and economics from the 1970s and 2010s, it is established that less than a third of all eminent scholars remain across the period as the most cited authors. Therefore, the average “half-life” of textbook eminence is shorter than half a century. Textbook eminence, it seems, is associated first and foremost with ‘certified recognition,’ expressed through encyclopedia entries dedicated to individual scholars. In psychology, and partly in sociology, citation impact turns out to be a further significant correlate. In economics, however, textbook eminence is completely detached from peer recognition, as measured by the h-index. The identified short “half-life” of textbook eminence does not necessarily imply a replacement of older elites by younger researchers. In sociology, very few 20th century newcomers have yet attained textbook eminence.     

Multi-agent programming contest 2017: lampe team description

In this paper we describe our participation in the 2017 edition of the Multi-Agent Programming Contest as team ‘lampe’. Our strategy was implemented in C++; it uses a centralised organisation of agents and evaluates different strategies based on an internal simulation of the future game state. Strategies are generated using handwritten heuristics in a randomised fashion, also relying on the internal simulation.     

The effects of Mpl-ligand, interleukin-6 and interleukin-11 on megakaryocyte and platelet alpha-granule proteins

Thrombopoietin (Mpl ligand), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-11 (IL-11) differ in their effects on megakaryocyte maturation and development. In the present study, the impact of these thrombocytopoietic cytokines on biochemical and structural granule and membrane components was examined. Western blotting was performed on equivalent amounts of isolated megakaryocyte or platelet protein and the relative intensities of the enhanced chemiluminescent-visualized bands were quantitated by densitometry. Megakaryocyte growth and development factor (MGDF), a recombinant thrombopoietin-related molecule, significantly increased megakaryocyte fibronectin (72%), thrombospondin (55%), von Willebrand factor (28%) and p-selectin (CD62p) (37%) when compared to equivalent amounts of protein from saline-treated controls (p<0.01). Megakaryocyte fibrinogen was not increased. Ultrastructurally, there was a marked increase in ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum even in mature-appearing megakaryocytes. Platelets from MGDF-treated mice showed small increases in fibronectin (8%), and CD62p (18%), but did not show increases in other measured alpha-granule proteins. Neither IL-6 nor IL-11 increased megakaryocyte or platelet alpha-granule proteins over levels observed in saline controls. IL-11 treated megakaryocytes, while also exhibiting an increase in ribosomes, were characterized by prominent cytoplasmic fragmentation. The study demonstrates the impact of Mpl ligand in increasing synthesized megakaryocyte alpha-granule proteins and of IL-11 in promoting megakaryocyte fragmentation.
