As wind turbine rotors increase, the overall loads and dynamic response become an important issue. This problem is augmented by the exposure of wind turbines to severe atmospheric events with unconventional flows such as tornadoes, which need specific designs not included in standards and codes at present. An experimental study was conducted to analyze the loads induced by a tornado-like vortex (TLV) on horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). A large-scale tornado simulation developed in The Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) Dome at Western University in Canada, the so-called Mode B Tornado, was employed as the TLV flow acting on a rigid wind turbine model under two rotor operational conditions (idling and parked) for five radial distances. It was observed that the overall forces and moments depend on the location and orientation of the wind turbine system with respect to the tornado vortex centre, as TLV are three-dimensional flows with velocity gradients in the radial, vertical, and tangential direction. The mean bending moment at the tower base was the most important in terms of magnitude and variation in relation to the position of the HAWT with respect to the core radius of the tornado, and it was highly dependent on the rotor Tip Speed Ratio (TSR).

The aim of the current study is to compare the performance of large 2 MW and 3 MW wind turbines operating on existing onshore wind farms using Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and Angular Momentum (AM) theory and illustrate the performance characteristic curves of the turbines as a function of wind speed (U∞). To achieve this, the measurement data obtained from two different Wind Energy Power Plants (WEPPs) located in the Hatay region of Turkey was used. Two different horizontal-axis wind turbines with capacities of 2 MW and 3 MW were selected for evaluation and comparison. The hub-height wind speed (UD), turbine power output (P), atmospheric air temperature (Tatm) and turbine rotational speed (Ω) data were used in the evaluation of the turbine performance characteristics. Curves of turbine power output (P), axial flow induction factor (a), turbine rotational speed (Ω), turbine power coefficient (CP), blade tip speed ratio (λ), thrust force coefficient (CT) and thrust force (T) as a function of U∞ were obtained for the 2 MW and 3 MW wind turbines and these characteristic curves were compared. Results revealed that, for the same wind speed conditions, the higher-capacity wind turbine (3 MW) was operating at higher turbine power coefficient rates, while rotating at lower rotational speed ratios than the lower-capacity wind turbine (2 MW).

NREL Phase VI 수평축 풍력터빈 주위의 3차원 유동에 대하여 미끄럼 격자 기법을 사용한 비정상 RANS 해석을 수행하였다. 블레이드/타워의 간섭영향을 해석하기 위하여 로터단일과 로터/타워/나셀의 2가지 해석 모델을 구축하였다. 로터/타워/나셀의 해석 결과를 NREL의 실험데이터와 비교하여 CFD 해석모델의 유용성을 확인하였다. 두 모델에 의한 해석 결과의 비교를 통하여 비록 상풍형 풍력터빈으로서 작기는 하지만 타워/나셀의 영향이 확실히 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 다른 가시화 결과와 토크를 포함한 적분 공력하중 등도 구축한 CFD 모델의 비정상 유동해석 능력이 효과적임을 보여주고 있다.

범용적으로 사용되고 있는 수평형 풍력 터빈(HAWT)은 블레이드가 장착된 터빈이 회전부인 너셀에 고정되어 타워의 최상단에 지지되는 구조이다. 터빈에서 생산되는 전력은 너셀 내부에서 증속기를 통하여 발전기로 들어가게 된다. 발전기에서 생산되는 전력은 타워를 통해서 지상과 송전선으로 연결되므로 너셀의 요잉이 발생하는 경우 송전선의 꼬임이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 이를 방지하기 위한 슬립링이나 추가적인 요잉 제어 알고리즘이 필요한 단점이 있다. 제안하는 새로운 구조의 HAWT는 베벨기어와 중공축을 이용하여 송전선 문제를 해결하였다. 또한, 병렬로 접속된 두개의 발전기를 이용하여 요잉이 용이할 뿐 아니라 생산 전력을 분산시킴으로써 인버터의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. MPPT 알고리즘과 요잉 제어를 수행하는 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안하는 구조가 풍력 발전에 효과적임을 보였다.

In this study, a small wind turbine airfoil specialized for national wind condition was designed in order to develop the furling control type HAWT. And then a flow analysis was carried out based on the blade drawing which was designed to characterize of the developed airfoil. The result of the flow analysis showed that the torque on the 3 blades was 180.23N.m. This is equivalent to an output power of 5.66kw and an output efficiency of 0.44. Then we produced and constructed a 3kW - furling control type HAWT by getting the system unit design technology such as the specialized furling control device. By operating this turbine, we could get 3kW of the rated power at a wind speed of 10.5m/s through the ability test. Cut-in wind speed was 2m/s, generator efficiency was 92% at the rated power output. Sound power level was 87.2dB(A). Also we observed that the output power was limited to 10.5m/s with furling system operation.

The aerodynamic loads at the blade hub and the drive shaft for 1MW horizontal axis wind turbine are calculated numerically. The geometric shape of the blade such as chord length and twist angle can be obtained fran the aerodynamic optimization procedure. Various airfoil data, that is thick airfoils at hub side and thin airfoils at tip side, are distributed along the spanwise direction of the rotor blade. Under the wind data fulfilling design load cases based on the IEC61400-1, all of the shear forces, bending moments at the hub and the low speed shaft of the drive train are obtained by using the FAST code. It shows that shear forces and bending moments have a periodic. trend. These oscillating aerodynamic loads will lead to the fatigue problem at both of the hub and drive train From the load analysis the maximum shear forces and bending moments are generated when wind turbine generator system operates in the case of the extreme speed wind condition.
