The effect of {delta}{sub 3} angle on the teeter response of an unstalled wind turbine rotor determined by analysis, experiment, and computer simulation

Conference Swift, A H.P. ; Moroz, E M ; Craver, W L

A large, positive {delta}{sub 3} angle offers some advantages over the usual zero {delta}{sub 3} teeter rotor;such as reduced flapping angles, reduced inplane excitations, and reduced teeter restraint impact loading. This paper discusses these advantages and presents results from theoretical analyses, computer simulations, and atmospheric test on the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) test-bed turbine. Results from these simulations and tests indicate stable and controlled teeter response at high yaw angles and yaw rates at wind speeds up to 30 m/s. Results of atmospheric tests also show reasonable correlation with the code TEETER, but some discrepancies with pastmore »« less
Mixer-Ejector Wind Turbine: Breakthrough High Efficiency Shrouded Wind Turbine

Program Document

Broad Funding Opportunity Announcement Project: FloDesign Wind Turbine’s innovative wind turbine, inspired by the design of jet engines, could deliver 300% more power than existing wind turbines of the same rotor diameter by extracting more energy over a larger area. FloDesign Wind Turbine’s unique shrouded design expands the wind capture area, and the mixing vortex downstream allows more energy to flow through the rotor without stalling the turbine. The unique rotor and shrouded design also provide significant opportunity for mass production and simplified assembly, enabling mid-scale turbines (approximately 100 kW) to produce power at a cost that is comparable tomore » larger-scale conventional turbines.« less

Kalaupapa, Molokai, Hawaii wind-turbine and battery-storage analysis using the SOLSTOR II computer code

Technical Report Murphy, K D

The feasibility of a wind-turbine collector and battery-storage system on the island of Molokai, Hawaii, was investigasted using the SOLSTOR II optimizing computer code. Three system configurations were evaluated: utility-connected, stand-alone with generator backup, and stand-alone without generator backup. The utility-connected version considered both sell-back of energy to the utility and no sell-back. Major analysis conclusions are: the wind regime used in the simulation is extremely good, the annualized specific energy costs for all simulation cases are considerably lower than the current utility electric rate, and moderate battery storage capacity is economically attractive on the island of Mokokai.
Aerodynamic analysis of a horizontal axis wind turbine by use of helical vortex theory. Volume II. Computer program users manual. (Final report). [VORTEX]

Technical Report Keith, Jr., T. G. ; Afjeh, A. A. ; Jeng, D. R. ; ...

A description of a computer program entitled VORTEX that may be used to determine the aerodynamic performance of horizontal axis wind turbines is given. The computer code implements a vortex method from finite span wing theory and determines the induced velocity at the rotor disk by integrating the Biot-Savart law. It is assumed that the trailing helical vortex filaments form a wake of constant diameter (the rigid wave assumption) and travel downstream at the free stream velocity. The program can handle rotors having any number of blades which may be arbitrarily shaped and twisted. Many numerical details associated with themore »« less
