  • Implementation and Validation of an Advanced Wind Energy Controller in Aero-Servo-Elastic Simulations Using the Lifting Line Free Vortex Wake Model
    energies Article Implementation and Validation of an Advanced Wind Energy Controller in Aero-Servo-Elastic Simulations Using the Lifting Line Free Vortex Wake Model Sebastian Perez-Becker *, David Marten, Christian Navid Nayeri and Christian Oliver Paschereit Chair of Fluid Dynamics, Hermann Föttinger Institute, Technische Universität Berlin, Müller-Breslau-Str. 8, 10623 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] (D.M.); [email protected] (C.N.N.); [email protected] (C.O.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Accurate and reproducible aeroelastic load calculations are indispensable for designing modern multi-MW wind turbines. They are also essential for assessing the load reduction capabilities of advanced wind turbine control strategies. In this paper, we contribute to this topic by introducing the TUB Controller, an advanced open-source wind turbine controller capable of performing full load calculations. It is compatible with the aeroelastic software QBlade, which features a lifting line free vortex wake aerodynamic model. The paper describes in detail the controller and includes a validation study against an established open-source controller from the literature. Both controllers show comparable performance with our chosen metrics. Furthermore, we analyze the advanced load reduction capabilities of the individual pitch control strategy included in the TUB Controller. Turbulent wind simulations with the DTU 10 MW Reference Wind Turbine featuring the individual pitch control strategy show a decrease in the out-of-plane and torsional blade root bending moment fatigue loads of 14% and 9.4% respectively compared to a baseline controller.

  • Investigation of Different Airfoils on Outer Sections of Large Rotor Blades
    School of Innovation, Design and Engineering Bachelor Thesis in Aeronautical Engineering 15 credits, Basic level 300 Investigation of Different Airfoils on Outer Sections of Large Rotor Blades Authors: Torstein Hiorth Soland and Sebastian Thuné Report code: MDH.IDT.FLYG.0254.2012.GN300.15HP.Ae Sammanfattning Vindkraft står för ca 3 % av jordens produktion av elektricitet. I jakten på grönare kraft, så ligger mycket av uppmärksamheten på att få mer elektricitet från vindens kinetiska energi med hjälp av vindturbiner. Vindturbiner har använts för elektricitetsproduktion sedan 1887 och sedan dess så har turbinerna blivit signifikant större och med högre verkningsgrad. Driftsförhållandena förändras avsevärt över en rotors längd. Inre delen är oftast utsatt för mer komplexa driftsförhållanden än den yttre delen. Den yttre delen har emellertid mycket större inverkan på kraft och lastalstring. Här är efterfrågan på god aerodynamisk prestanda mycket stor. Vingprofiler för mitten/yttersektionen har undersökts för att passa till en 7.0 MW rotor med diametern 165 meter. Kriterier för bladprestanda ställdes upp och sensitivitetsanalys gjordes. Med hjälp av programmen XFLR5 (XFoil) och Qblade så sattes ett blad ihop av varierande vingprofiler som sedan testades med bladelement momentum teorin. Huvuduppgiften var att göra en simulering av rotorn med en aero-elastisk kod som gav information beträffande driftsbelastningar på rotorbladet för olika vingprofiler. Dessa resultat validerades i ett professionellt program för aeroelasticitet (Flex5) som simulerar steady state, turbulent och wind shear. De bästa vingprofilerna från denna rapportens profilkatalog är NACA 63-6XX och NACA 64-6XX. Genom att implementera dessa vingprofiler på blad design 2 och 3 så erhölls en mycket hög prestanda jämfört med stora kommersiella HAWT rotorer.

  • Wind Field Simulation in a Wind Farm Using Openfoam and Actuator Line Model
    ParCFD'2019 31st International Conference on Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics May-14-17 2019, Antalya TURKEY WIND FIELD SIMULATION IN A WIND FARM USING OPENFOAM AND ACTUATOR LINE MODEL Huseyin Can Onel∗ & Dr. Ismail H. Tuncery ∗ Middle East Technical University (METU) Department of Aerospace Engineering 06800 Ankara, TURKEY e-mail: [email protected] yMiddle East Technical University (METU) Department of Aerospace Engineering 06800 Ankara, TURKEY e-mail: [email protected] - Web page: http://www.ae.metu.edu.tr/tuncer/ Key words: Aerospace applications, Wind turbine, HAWT, Actuator Line Model, Wake calculation Abstract. In this study, a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) is modeled using so called Actuator Line Model (ALM), where full resolution of boundary layer over turbine blades is not needed and hence computation is cheaper. Results are validated against other numerical and experimental studies as well as panel method (XFOIL) and Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) results which are still widely employed in today's wind energy industry. Important simulation and operation parameters and their effects on accuracy are discussed. It is concluded that within a certain range of tip speed ratios, ALM gives acceptable results and is a promising model for full-scale wind farm simulations to estimate energy production. 1 INTRODUCTION Market share of renewable energy grows at ever highest rates and wind turbine and wind farm design processes becomes more sophisticated with the advancements in computation technologies. There are two main design problems in wind energy: • Design of an individual wind turbine at its ideal operation conditions, where classical methods like 2D airfoil theory, potential flow theory and Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) are still widely used, • Design of a complete wind farm, in which statistical meteorological data is used for macro-siting and simple analytical or empirical methods are used for micro-siting.

  • Design and Simulation of Small Wind Turbine Blades in Q-Blade
    © 2017 IJEDR | Volume 5, Issue 4 | ISSN: 2321-9939 Design and Simulation of Small Wind Turbine Blades in Q-Blade 1Veeksha Rao Ponakala, 2Dr G Anil Kumar 1PG Student, 2Assistant Professor School of Renewable Energy and Environment, Institute of Science and Technology, JNTUK, Kakinada, India Abstract- Electrical energy demand has been continuously increasing. Power generation using wind turbines is becoming viable solution as there is demand for cleaner energy sources. Wind power generators are usually located away from human dwellings for higher power generation. In any other case, turbines placed at lower altitudes, are subjected to low wind speeds and non optimal wind flow conditions. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are more efficient than the horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) for low wind speed applications because of their ability to capture wind flowing from any direction. Therefore, VAWT systems are more suitable for residential and urban applications as they are universally adaptable. Major limitation observed in VAWT is high drag and turbulent force produced by the blade. This paper presents the VAWT rotor blade design to overcome the limitations. By considering the parameters required for design of blade geometry, National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics (NACA) series 0016- 64 can be utilised for optimum aerodynamic performance. NACA 0018 airfoil is selected and analysed within the required range of Reynolds numbers and wind speeds in Q-Blade software. With the proper airfoil design optimal for low wind speed conditions, the turbine efficiency can be increased in addition to maximisation of the power produced. Index Terms- VAWT, Rotor Blades, Airfoil, Lift Force, Drag Force, Q-Blade.

  • Numerical Simulations of a Large Offshore Wind Turbine Exposed to Turbulent Inflow Conditions
    9th European Seminar OWEMES 2017 Numerical simulations of a large offshore wind turbine exposed to turbulent inflow conditions Galih Bangga, Giorgia Guma, Thorsten Lutz and Ewald Krämer Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG),University of Stuttgart, Germany [email protected] Abstract – The present works are intended to investigate the aerodynamic responses of a large generic 10MW offshore wind turbine under turbulent inflow conditions. The non-linear Lifting Line Free Vortex Wake Simulations approach is employed for this purpose computed using the QBlade code. In these studies, the effects of a three-dimensional (3D) correction model for the airfoil polars were studied in advance. For this purpose, the Blade Element Momentum computations employing the corrected polars are performed and compared to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and a good agreement is obtained between both employed approaches. Background turbulence is then imposed in the QLLT simulations with the turbulence intensities ranging from low to high turbulence levels (3% - 15%). Furthermore, the impact of wind shear from different locations (offshore and onshore) is investigated in the present works. 1. Introduction A fundamental issue in accurate estimation of the power output has been noted with the continuous increase of the offshore wind farm size which is partly contributed by difficulties in flow and wake modeling [1]. This is particularly caused by the complexity of the wake downstream of the turbine and their relationship with atmospheric variables such as the variability of wind speed, direction, turbulence and atmospheric stability that is not yet fully understood [2]. Further understanding of the relationships between these variables is required to improve the current state of the art wind farm and wake models.
