The Impact of Bend–Twist Coupling on Structural Characteristics and Flutter Limit of Ultra-Long Flexible Wind Turbine Composite Blades

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Flutter is an instability phenomenon that can occur in wind turbine blades due to fluid–structure interaction, particularly for longer and more flexible blades.

An efficient blade sweep correction model for blade element momentum theory

open access: yesWind Energy, 2022
This article proposes an efficient correction model that enables the extension of the blade element momentum method (BEM) for swept blades. Standard BEM algorithms, assuming a straight blade in the rotor plane, cannot account for the changes in the ...

Aero‐servo‐elastic co‐optimization of large wind turbine blades with distributed aerodynamic control devices

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 763-785, August 2023., 2023
Abstract This work introduces automated wind turbine optimization techniques based on full aero‐servo‐elastic models and investigates the potential of trailing edge flaps to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of wind turbines. The Wind Energy with Integrated Servo‐control (WEIS) framework is improved to conduct the presented research.

A CFD‐based analysis of dynamic induction techniques for wind farm control applications

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 325-343, March 2023., 2023
Summary Recently, dynamic induction control is gaining the interest of the wind energy community as a promising strategy to increase the overall wind farm power production. Such a technique is based on a dynamic variation of the upstream rotor thrust, generated through a suitable blade pitch motion, to promote a faster wake recovery.

Aeroelastic Tailoring of Helicopter Blades

open access: yesVolume 7A: 9th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control, 2013
The dynamic loads transmitted from the rotor to the airframe are responsible for vibrations, discomfort and alternate stress of components. A new and promising way to minimize vibration is to reduce dynamic loads at their source by performing an aeroelastic optimization of the rotor.
