Segmented Ultralight Pre-Aligned Rotor for Extreme-Scale Wind Turbines

Conference Loth, Eric ; Steele, Adam ; Ichter, B. ; ...

To alleviate the mass-scaling issues associated with conventional upwind rotors of extreme-scale turbines, a downwind rotor concept is proposed which employs fixed blade curvature based on force alignment at rated conditions. For a given peak stress constraint, the reduction in downwind cantilever loads allows reduced shell and spar thickness, and thus a reduced blade mass as compared with a conventional upwind rotor, especially as rotor sizes approach extreme-scales. To quantify this mass reduction, a Finite Element Analysis was conducted for a 10 MW rated rotor based on the NREL offshore 5 MW baseline wind turbine. The results show that thismore »« less

Downwind pre-aligned rotors for extreme-scale wind turbines

Journal Article Loth, Eric ; Steele, Adam ; Qin, Chao ; ... - Wind Energy

Downwind force angles are small for current turbines systems (1-5 MW) such that they may be readily accommodated by conventional upwind configurations. However, analysis indicates that extreme-scale systems (10-20 MW) will have larger angles that may benefit from downwind-aligned configurations. To examine potential rotor mass reduction, the pre-alignment concept was investigated a two-bladed configuration by keeping the structural and aerodynamic characteristics of each blade fixed (to avoids a complete blade re-design). Simulations for a 13.2 MW rated rotor at steady-state conditions show that this concept-level two-bladed design may yield 25% rotor mass savings while also reducing average blade stress overmore »« less

A gravo-aeroelastically scaled wind turbine rotor at field-prototype scale with strict structural requirements

Journal Article Bay, Christopher J. ; Damiani, Rick ; Yao, Shulong ; ... - Renewable Energy

A new sub-scale field-prototype design solution is developed to realize the dynamics, structural response, and distributed loads (gravitational, aerodynamic, centrifugal) that are characteristic of a full-scale large, modern wind turbine rotor. Prior work in sub-scale wind turbine testing has focused on matching aerodynamic/aero-elastic characteristics of full-scale rotors at wind tunnel scale. However, large-scale rotor designs must expand beyond this limited set of scaling parameters for cost-effective prototyping and meet strict requirements for structural safety for field testing. Here, the challenge lies in producing a structural design meeting two competing objectives: novel scaling objectives that prescribe the sub-scale blade to havemore »« less
