This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The work contains an analytical review of modern wind energy, based on different physical principles. We consider wind installations with horizontal-axial and vertical-axial configurations, innovative designs for wind turbines. Also, modern methods and possibilities for scaling and optimal regulation of wind parks are considered. Mathematical models for the interaction of airflow with blades of collinear and orthogonal plants have been developed, and methods for optimal regulation have been identified that increase the energy efficiency of plants. A number of patent developments represent promising directions for the development of wind energy: horizontal and vertical collinear installations, vertical-axial orthogonal devices with unregulated and self-regulating blades and with optimal control systems based on the author methods of optimizing.

This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paradigm in the design of all human activity that requires energy for its development must change from the past. We must change the processes of product manufacturing and functional services. This is necessary in order to mitigate the ecological footprint of man on the Earth, which cannot be considered as a resource with infinite capacities. To do this, every single process must be analyzed and modified, with the aim of decarbonising each production sector. This collection of articles has been assembled to provide ideas and new broad-spectrum contributions for these purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully updated and authoritative reference to wind energy technology written by leading academic and industry professionals The newly revised Third Edition of the Wind Energy Handbook delivers a fully updated treatment of key developments in wind technology since the publication of the book’s Second Edition in 2011. The criticality of wakes within wind farms is addressed by the addition of an entirely new chapter on wake effects, including ‘engineering’ wake models and wake control. Offshore, attention is focused for the first time on the design of floating support structures, and the new ‘PISA’ method for monopile geotechnical design is introduced. The coverage of blade design has been completely rewritten, with an expanded description of laminate fatigue properties and new sections on manufacturing methods, blade testing, leading-edge erosion and bend-twist coupling. These are complemented by new sections on blade add-ons and noise in the aerodynamics chapters, which now also include a description of the Leishman-Beddoes dynamic stall model and an extended introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis. The importance of the environmental impact of wind farms both on- and offshore is recognized by expanded coverage, and the requirements of the Grid Codes to ensure wind energy plays its full role in the power system are described. The conceptual design chapter has been extended to include a number of novel concepts, including low induction rotors, multiple rotor structures, superconducting generators and magnetic gearboxes. References and further reading resources are included throughout the book and have been updated to cover the latest literature. As in previous editions, the core subjects constituting the essential background to wind turbine and wind farm design are covered. These include: The nature of the wind resource, including geographical variation, synoptic and diurnal variations, and turbulence characteristics The aerodynamics of horizontal axis wind turbines, including the actuator disc concept, rotor disc theory, the vortex cylinder model of the actuator disc and the Blade-Element/Momentum theory Design loads for horizontal axis wind turbines, including the prescriptions of international standards Alternative machine architectures The design of key components Wind turbine controller design for fixed and variable speed machines The integration of wind farms into the electrical power system Wind farm design, siting constraints, and the assessment of environmental impact Perfect for engineers and scientists learning about wind turbine technology, the Wind Energy Handbook will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate students taking courses on wind turbines and wind energy, as well as industry professionals whose work requires a deep understanding of wind energy technology.
Download or read book Review of Research in Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines written by Ali Sheikh and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following study is a compilation on the research and development in the field of horizontal axis wind turbines. It is known that in the wind energy industry, the horizontal axis wind turbines take lead over all other types. They are applicable on the domestic level too but this work focuses on the large scale machines. A driving factor is that they are a source of green energy. The other reason is that the horizontal axis wind turbines are more efficient than the vertical axis wind turbines. They have a number of mechanical components but the ones emphasized in this study are primarily the aerodynamics related ones. To confine, rotor has been the major area of study and research. The vital part is blade, so, the work is majorly around performance aspects of the blade. An effort is made to explore the possibilities of improvement in blade design variables. A cursory investigation is also done on another related structural component, tower, which affects the performance of rotor. A brief review of the horizontal axis wind turbine life cycle is also included in order to mark the environmental implications of it as a product. Analyses of the researchers have been studied and many important and recent findings have been highlighted. Modern techniques which are used for the enhancement of design variables, are investigated and recent works on correction factors for the governing equations have been discussed. The aim of this study is to review the current research on the HAWTs. The purpose is to explore the possibilities toward the improvement of design variables relating to the aerodynamic performance. To mention explicitly, the study focuses on the improvement in the design aspects of rotor which predominantly depends on the blade. The intent is to investigate the pros and cons of altering various parameters of the blade; aiming at the improved performance, keeping in view the material, manufacturing and the environmental aspects of the stated WTs as a product.The work starts with the overview of the wind energy capacity of various countries, to have surface knowledge of the importance of the technology. The study covers the basic features of HAWTs as well as VAWTs, that is, the other wind energy technology. A basic review is had on the various relevant aspects of the wind farm which directly affect the performance of HAWTs. To investigate HAWT as a product; its environmental impacts have been estimated in order to justify the technology. Starting from the aerodynamic efficiency limit, that is, Betz's limit, various governing equations previously derived have been highlighted and along with that the correction factors have been discussed which refine the analyses based on the applied theories.An investigation on the performance of the blade, as the main part of the rotor, has been done. Correlation of various design variables has been observed. Some findings relevant to the performance improvement have been stated. Novel approaches like using VAWTs as the supporting machines for HAWTs and having multi rotor WTs have been studied to see if they are viable at some scale of power generation. There is a limit to the optimization of the blade that the researchers can do. So, according to applications, the workability of the stated novel approaches is studied as well as recommended for future research.
