Pitch-to-feather control is widely used to limit the power output of wind turbines in high wind speed conditions. However, stall control has not been taken forward in the industry because of the low predictability of stalled rotor aerodynamics. Despite this drawback, this article investigates the possible advantages of this control concept when compared to pitch-to-feather control with an emphasis on the control performance and its impact on the pitch mechanism and structural loads. In this study, three HAWTs with different blade designs, i.e., untwisted, stall-regulated, and pitch-regulated blades, are investigated.

  • Im Frauenlager Von Auschwitz-Birkenau Stellte Die Lagerleiterin Maria Mandl Im Oktober 1942 Auf Inoffiziellem Wege Ein „Mädch
    1 DAS ORCHESTER VON BLOCK 12 EINLEITUNG Im Frauenlager von Auschwitz-Birkenau stellte die Lagerleiterin Maria Mandl im Oktober 1942 auf inoffiziellem Wege ein „Mädchenorchester“ zusammen, das zwischen 1943 und 1944 unter der Leitung der Geigerin Alma Rosé stand. Die Musikerinnen lebten und probten in einer separaten Baracke, dem Block 12 (später im Block 7). Mitglieder der Lagerkapelle von Kaunas (Kauen). Das 1942 gegründete Orchester bestand aus 35 Musikern und fünf Sängern und gab im Ghetto etwa 80 Konzerte. Diese fanden in der dortigen Polizeistation statt. Im selben Gebäude hatte vor der deutschen Besatzung eine Jeschiwa ihren Platz. Die funktionale Rolle der Nazi-Lager beim Völkermord an den Juden, wie auch an den Sinti und Roma, gibt dem Phänomen der Musik an diesen Orten eine besondere Bedeutung. Dadurch, dass sie – teilweise – die organisierte Vernichtung ganzer Völker „untermalte“, kommt ihr in diesem Kontext eine Symbolik zu, die noch bestärkt wird durch die Bedeutung, die die Nazis ihr zu Propagandazwecken im Ghettolager Theresienstadt zumaßen.

  • Aeroelastic Simulation of Wind Turbine Dynamics
    Aeroelastic Simulation of Wind Turbine Dynamics by Anders Ahlstr¨om April 2005 Doctoral Thesis from Royal Institute of Technology Department of Mechanics SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden Akademisk avhandling som med tillst˚and av Kungliga Tekniska h¨ogskolan i Stock- holm framl¨agges till offentlig granskning f¨or avl¨aggande av teknologie doktorsexamen fredagen den 8:e april 2005 kl 10.00 i sal M3, Kungliga Tekniska h¨ogskolan, Valhalla- v¨agen 79, Stockholm. c Anders Ahlstr¨om 2005 Abstract The work in this thesis deals with the development of an aeroelastic simulation tool for horizontal axis wind turbine applications. Horizontal axis wind turbines can experience significant time varying aerodynamic loads, potentially causing adverse effects on structures, mechanical components, and power production. The needs for computational and experimental procedures for investigating aeroelastic stability and dynamic response have increased as wind turbines become lighter and more flexible. A finite element model for simulation of the dynamic response of horizontal axis wind turbines has been developed. The developed model uses the commercial finite element system MSC.Marc, focused on nonlinear design and analysis, to predict the structural response. The aerodynamic model, used to transform the wind flow field to loads on the blades, is a Blade-Element/Momentum model. The aerody- namic code is developed by The Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI, previously named FFA) and is a state-of-the-art code incorporating a number of extensions to the Blade-Element/Momentum formulation. The software SOSIS-W, developed by Teknikgruppen AB was used to generate wind time series for modelling different wind conditions.

School of Mechanical and Building Sciences, VIT University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. ABSTRACT: Wind-turbine yaw drive endures to display a high rate of rapid failure in meanness of use of the best in current design performs. Subsequently yaw bearing is one of the priciest components of a yaw drive in wind turbine, higher-than-expected failure tariffsgrowth cost of energy. Supreme of the difficulties in wind-turbine yaw drive appear to discharge from bearings. Yaw bearing is located between the Tower and Nacelle portion of the Wind Turbine and slews shadow the wind way.The modelling of yaw bearing is done using Pro-E and fatigue life and static loading capacity are investigated by ANSYS. There is a gear positioned on the outer ring of the bearing and the Yaw Drive Motor is mated with this gear. The gear controls the angle control relative to the direction of the wind. This bearing gathering consists of an Outer ring, Inner ring, balls, and seal. Surviving yaw bearing made up of Carbon and Low Alloyed steels, High Alloyed Steels and Super Alloys. In this yaw bearing constitutes fairly accurate 25 tons of weight. So we categorical to diminish the weight of yaw bearings using composite materials.

T-Solid – a patented 3-raceway/3-ring design with load independent contact angle.
