Application of Active Damping Control Using Piezoelectric Material in Modeling of a Wind Turbine Blade

Article Preview

Abstract:

On the basic of passive damping control, we do modeling and simulating in another approach to improve the vibration alleviating effect, the piezoelectric layer damping (PLD), which is called active control. The piezoelectric damping patches are under control of PID controller (matlab simulating) in voltage defference. Here, we use the software PRO/ENGINEER to design and model a wind turbine blade before using COMSOL to simulate the dynamic motion of the wind turbine blade and its interaction with aerodynamic force of wind in finite element method. Some different models are built-- the original turbine blade and the turbine blade with damping patches on different location and quantity. Then, according to the simulation results, we compare the effects of passive and active damping control, also the effect of patches locations and quantities under different wind speed. This research can provide a direction for future study about ways to decrease vibration of turbine blades.
