Elastic Actuator Line modelling for the Wake-induced Fatigue Analysis of Horizontal Wind Turbine
Meng, Hang (University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)The fatigue damage on wind turbine blades will threaten the safety and stability of the wind turbine and thus lower the efficiency and economy of the power generation system. The wake-induced fatigue plays an important ... -
Study on fatigue life of bend-twist coupling wind turbine blade based on anisotropic beam model and stress-based fatigue analysis method
Meng, Hang; Lien, Fue-Sang; Glinka, Gregory; Geiger, Paul (Elsevier, 2019-01-15)Bend-twist coupling (BTC), also called aeroelastic tailoring or passive pitch control method, is often utilized to reduce the fatigue loading on wind turbine blades. With BTC, the blade can twist as it bends, this alleviates ...
