Scale Effect Correction for NREL Phase VI Wind Turbine

NREL Phase VI 풍력터빈의 축소효과 보정

The present paper describes the scale effect correction method for wind turbine by using CFD(computational fluid dynamics). For the correct ions of wind turbine scale effect, various researches on the helicopter rotor scale effect were Investigated and feasibility study of methods was performed to correct wind turbine scale effect The present paper also introduces new scale effect correction method based on two dimensional lift slope modification. In order to test the Present method, performance analyses of NREL Phase VI wind turbines under various scale conditions were carried out by using CFD. The present method showed reasonable results when applied to NREL Phase VI wind turbine.
