Dynamic Similarity of Wind Turbine's Tower-Nacelle System and its Scaled Model

Abstract:

A paper presents analysis of dynamic similarity between full-scale wind turbines tower-nacelle system and its laboratory model. As a reference real-world structure, Vensys 82 wind turbine was assumed. Complete and partial similarity criteria were both introduced. Considering laboratory model to be equipped with tuned mass damper horizontally arranged at the top, partial similarity of one pair of points (tower tips) motions will be satisfactory. On the basis of similarity conditions, laboratory model parameters were determined so that data acquired for the model may be referred to real-world structure.
