Preliminary Wind Turbine Rotor Design: Semi-Analytical aero-elastic wind turbine rotor design optimization
The main purpose of a wind turbine is to create electrical energy for the electrical grid. When extracting energy from the wind, loads are exerted on the turbine blades, which carry through to the drive-train, nacelle, tower, foundation, and at last to the ground. The main purpose of the structure is to carry these loads and ensure that the structure does not fail for any load case. Building a stronger turbine is often associated with a higher cost and building the cheapest turbine that produces the most power is what makes a turbine successful in the global market. Understanding the trade-off between the power vs. loads vs. cost is, therefore, crucial to create the turbines with the lowest cost of energy. This is the motivation behind the present thesis, which investigates the trade-off between the power that the turbine produces, the loads that are exerted on the structure, and the cost of the turbine. This is achieved through the creation of an optimization framework. It is capable of finding the optimal rotor radius increase for a given set of load constraints and aerodynamic input and cost-function inputs. The optimization framework consists of an aerodynamic solver and an optimization methodology. The aerodynamic solver is named the Radially Independent Actuator Disc model (RIAD), and it is essentially a different parametrization of the commonly used Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory equations. RIAD is found to perform better for load constrained power optimization as it directly relates the loads and power. Furthermore, the model provides an intuitive interpretation of aerodynamic losses, allowing for the magnitude of each type of losses to be quantified with ease. As a result, RIAD can help assess the preferred technological improvements to pursue in order to most efficiently lower aerodynamic losses. The optimization methodology is named Wind Turbine Rotor Optimization with Radial Independence (WOwRI). WOwRI uses the key assumption of radially independent concentric stream tubes to easily determine ...
