This paper proposes a novel airfoil named "KA2" for the blade of the wind turbine systems. Dynamic loads characteristics are analyzed and compared using aerodynamic data of ten airfoils including the proposed airfoil. The blade is divided into the sixteen elements in the longitudinal direction of the blade for applying the Blade Element Method Theory (BEMT) method, and in each element, torque, thrust, and pitching moment are calculated using turbulent time varying wind speed and aerodynamic data of each wing. Additionally, each force and torque is accumulated in the whole region of the blade for the estimation of representative values. The magnitude of such forces is comparatively analyzed for different airfoils. The angle of attack is constant below the rated wind speed due to the fact that the tip speed ratio is kept at the constant value, and it increases in the region of over rated wind speed as the tip speed ratio decreasing with constant rated rpm and increasing wind speed. Such increase in the angle of attack causes the changes of the force acting on the airfoil with different characteristics of lift and drag in the stall region of each different airfoil. Even though the mean wind speed is in the rated speed in a given time, because of the turbulence, it has either the over rated or under rated speed most of the time. Furthermore, the dynamic properties of each force are analyzed in this rated wind speed in order to objectively understand the dynamic properties of the blades which are designed based on the different airfoils. These dynamic properties are also compared by the standard deviation of time varying characteristics. Moreover, the output characteristics of the wind turbine are investigated with different airfoils and wind speeds. Based on these investigations, it was revealed that the proposed airfoil (KA2) is well applicable to the blade with passive pitch control system.

본 연구에서는 외부하중을 고려하여 Fulton과 Vasiliev가 제안한 돔형상 식을 적용하여 복합재 압력용기의 돔형상을 설계하고 해석하였다. 돔형상 설계변수로는 0.1 ~ 0.5 의 오프닝 반경비와 40kN ~ 200kN의 추력을 적용하고, 해석에는 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하였다. 복합재 압력용기 내면과 외면의 섬유방향 변형률을 계산한 결과, Fulton 돔의 경우 ${\rho}_0$가 커질수록 변형률 기울기가 작아지고, Vasiliev 돔은 뚜렷한 경향성이 나타나지 않는다. 또한 ${\rho}_0{\leq}0.1$일 경우 모든 추력에서 Fulton 돔이 변형률 기울기가 더 큰 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 0.1<${\rho}_0$<0.35인 경우 주어진 추력 범위에서 변형률 기울기가 역전되는 형상을 보이며, $0.35{\leq}{\rho}_0$에서는 모든 구역에서 Vasiliev 돔이 변형률 기울기가 더 크게 나타나 압력용기의 설계에 적용하는 것이 효과적이라고 판단된다. 또한 복합재 압력용기의 변형률 기울기로 인해 발생하는 수지균열을 고려한 돔형상 설계가 필수적이다.
