Implementation of a pressure scanner-system for a field rotor-aerodynamics experiment

Abstract

A comprehensive design, manufacturing and testing programme has been carried out to install a Scanivalve pressure scanner system into an Aerpac 12.5 meter wind turbine rotor blade. In this report the installation of the Scanivalve high speed pressure measurement system inside a full scale rotor blade is dealt with. Moreover, the installation of three pitot probes is described to measure magnitude and inflow angle of the relative wind velocity at the blade element. The main topic of the report is the design and manufacturing of the blade installation to carry the scanner system. Another aim of the work has been the implementation of stainless steel tubes (pressure taps) to transmit static pressures from the blade surface to the scanner system. A complete system architecture containing the pressure scanners, data acquisition and components is described. 19 figs., 2 appendices, 7 refs.
