Title: UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence 6 - Raw Data

Abstract

Sequence 6: Shroud Wake Measure (P) This test sequence used a downwind, rigid turbine with a 3.4° cone angle. The wind speeds for this sequence corresponded to subcritical [7 m/s], transitional [15 m/s], and supercritical [20 m/s] Reynolds number regimes for the circular cross-section tower. The yaw angle and blade tip pitch angles were selected to traverse the probe tip across the tower wake while keeping the probe axis approximately parallel to the tunnel centerline. The rotor was parked with the instrumented blade at 180° azimuth. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. An airfoil-shaped aluminum shroud was placed on the tower below the 34% span five-hole probe. It extended below the 91% span five-hole probe. The turntable angle was adjusted to position the shroud at various angles relative to the flow.

Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e)

Sivaraman, Chitra

A2e is a multi-year, multi-stakeholder DOE research and development initiative tasked with improving wind plant performance and mitigating risk and uncertainty to achieve substantial reduction in the cost of wind energy production. The A2e strategic vision will enable a new generation of wind plant technology, in which smart wind plants are designed to achieve optimized performance stemming from more complete knowledge of the inflow wind resource and complex flow through the wind plant. Focus areas include high fidelity modeling, verification, and validation; aeroacoustics; integrated wind plant control; integrated systems and analysis; reliability; and data archiving.

Dataset Fingersh, Lee

Sequence Q: Dynamic Inflow (P) This sequence was designed to characterize the dynamic inflow variation using the five-hole probes that extend upwind of the leading edge of the blade. This test sequence used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speeds ranged from 5 m/s to 15 m/s, and data were collected at a 0° yaw angle. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data filemore »« less

Sequence W: Extended Blade (F) This test sequence used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speed ranged from 5 m/s to 21 m/s, and the yaw angle was held at 0°. The blade pitch angle was 3°. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade pressure measurements were collected. The five-hole probes were removed and the plugs were installed. Plastic tape 0.03-mm thick was used to smooth the interface between the plugs and the blade.

Sequence 5: Sweep Wind Speed (F,P) This test sequence used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speed was ramped from 5 m/s to 25 m/s by the wind tunnel operator. This was repeated with a decreasing ramp. The yaw angle was maintained at 0°. The blade tip pitch was 3° or 6°. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade pressure and probe measurements were collected for both pitch angles. The five-hole probes were removed and the plugs were installed for another 3° pitch case. Plastic tape 0.03 mm thick was used to smooth the interfacemore »« less

Sequences B, C, and D: Downwind Baseline (F), Downwind Low Pitch (F), Downwind High Pitch (F) This test sequence used a downwind, teetered turbine with a 3.4° cone angle. The wind speed ranged from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. Yaw angles of ±180° were achieved at low wind speeds, and yaw angles of -20° to 10° were achieved for high wind speeds. The blade tip pitch was 3° for sequence B, 0° for sequence C, and 6° for sequence D. These three sequences were interleaved during testing because the pitch angle change was easily made by the turbine operator. Themore »« less
