Abstract (Wind Turbine)

This document summarizes the design of a wind turbine for an experiment to better understand unsteady aerodynamics. The experiment involves a two-bladed hub on a downwind, three-bladed wind turbine that can operate in rigid, teetering, or independent blade-flapping modes using two servomotors to independently pitch the blades. The thesis focuses on analyzing and modeling the hub body through solid mechanical calculations and generating a solid model in Catia-V5 to meet performance specifications and achieve 90% of the specified teeter range, except for two blades instead of three.

STUDY AND DESIGN OF WIND TURBINE

ABSTRACT

This is to perform the Unsteady Aerodynamics to better understand the unsteady aerodynamics
and structural responses of horizontal-axis wind turbines. The experiment consists of an
extensively instrumented, downwind, three-bladed, wind turbine. We are designing a two-bladed
hub for the experiment. For this thesis, I present the modules of the mechanical design of the
Wind Turbine.

The Wind Turbine must be unique because it runs in rigid, teetering, or independent blade-
flapping modes. In addition, the design is unusual because it uses two servomotors to pitch the
blades independently. These features are used to investigate new load reduction, noise reduction,
blade pitch optimization, and control techniques for two-bladed turbines. The hub needs to meets
all the performance specifications except that it achieves 90% of the specified teeter range.

In my thesis, I focus on the analysis of the body. I perform solid-mechanical calculations. The
solid model is generated in Catia-V5.
