The Effect of Blade Deflections on the Torsional Dynamic of a Wind Turbine

Abstract:

The dynamic behavior of a wind turbine comprises three major parts: the external torque produced by the wind, the mechanical elements and the grid. For the aerodynamic response, there is three type of models: constant aerodynamic torque for Type I and Type IV turbines, a pseudo aerodynamic model for Type I and II, and linearized aerodynamic model for Type III. The drivetrain has been model either as a single-mass shaft model or as a double-mass shaft model. Most of the dynamic models of wind turbines consider the wind torque only as a function of the wind velocity, and they neglect the vibrations of the blades as an excitation torque. Therefore, a dynamic model that includes the aerodynamic power, the torque produced by the deflection of the blades, the vortex-induced vibrations of the blades and the torque caused by the eccentricity of the center of mass represents the excitation torque. The dynamic …
