Design of Icing Prober Configuration for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

Abstract:

A design approach of ice detection system for wind turbine is presented in this paper. Basic steps for design are proposed. Numerical arithmetic used for design configuration and shape of the icing prober is given. The arithmetic is composed of the Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) method to calculate flowfield of air, a Lagrangian method to compute droplet trajectories and a technique for fast computing ice accretion. Icing prober configuration for a 1.5 MW horizontal axis wind turbine is then obtained with the approach. The state of wind turbine icing can be reflected by the prober in real time. All these achievements build a good base for future research.
