Design and Research on a Automatic Cleaning Device of Wind Turbine Blades

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at ash deposit problem of wind turbine blades, a cleaning device for 10kW horizontal axis wind turbines was designed by applying the mechanism that ash deposit on blades surface was purged by high-speed flows from nozzle. Using fluent software, a numerical simulation was carried out in cleaning device, and its pressure field and velocity field in different cross section of wind turbine blades were simulated under cleaning state. The results showed that positive pressure zone created by cleaning device was formed on blades surface, and high-speed airflow purging blades surface was formed. As a result, the purpose of cleaning is achieved.
