Aerodynamic Design and Finite Element Modelling of Mixed Aerofoil Wind Turbine Blades

Abstract:

Both rotor aerodynamic characteristics and structural performance of the blade are critical to the wind turbine system service life; an accurate loading model of the blade is extraordinary complex due to the complexity of the geometry shape and variety of blade thickness. In this paper, a 10KW fixed-pitch variable-speed wind turbine blade with five different thickness of aerofoil shape along the span of the blade is presented as a case study, main parameters of the wind turbine rotor and the blade aerodynamic geometry shape are determined based on the principles of the blade element momentum (BEM) theory, a specific blade internal structure and layup schedule are designed. Based on the FE method, deflections and strain distributions of the designed blade under extreme wind conditions are numerically predicted. Theoretical and numerical results indicate that aerodynamic characteristics of the designed blade meet the requirement, the tip clearance is sufficient to prevent collision with the tower, and the blade material is linear and safe.
