Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract:This thesis focuses on fatigue analysis and testing of large, multi MW wind turbine blades. The blades are one of the most expensive components of a wind turbine, and their mass has cost implications for the hub, nacelle, tower and foundations of the turbine so it is important that they are not unnecessarily strong. Fatigue is often an important design driver, but fatigue of composites is poorly understood and so large safety factors are often applied to the loads. This has implications for the weight of the blade. Full scale fatigue testing of blades is required by the design standards, and provides manufacturers with confidence that the blade will be able to survive its service life. This testing is usually performed by resonating the blade in the flapwise and edgewise directions separately, but in service these two loads occur at the same time. A fatigue testing method developed at Narec (the National Renewable Energy Centre) in the UK in which the flapwise and edgewise directions are excited simultaneously has been evaluated by comparing the Palmgren-Miner damage sum around the blade cross section after testing with the damage distribution caused by the service life. A method to obtain the resonant test configuration that will result in the optimum mode shapes for the flapwise and edgewise directions was then developed, and simulation software was designed to allow the blade test to be simulated so that realistic comparisons between the damage distributions after different test types could be obtained. During the course of this work the shortcomings with conventional fatigue analysis methods became apparent, and a novel method of fatigue analysis based on multi-continuum theory and the kinetic theory of fracture was developed. This method was benchmarked using physical test data from the OPTIDAT database and was applied to the analysis of a complete blade. A full scale fatigue test method based on this new analysis approach is also discussed.

This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In predicting performance of wind turbines, the blade element momentum (BEM) theory is still commonly used by wind turbine designers and researchers. This book deals with several up-to-date models added to the BEM theory to get more realistic prediction. In evaluating fatigue damage of wind turbine blade, stress-life approach and Miner's linear cumulative damage rule are mentioned. Wind turbine blades are the most critical components of HAWT. Full-scale blade fatigue testing is required to verify that the blades possess the strength and service life specified in the design. Unfortunately, the test must be run for a long time period. This problem led the blade testing laboratories to accelerate fatigue testing time. To achieve the objective, two novel methods called STFT- and WT-based fatigue damage part extracting methods are used to generate the edited stress-time history. Blade testing laboratories can use this history to accelerate fatigue testing time. STFT- and WT-based fatigue damage part extracting methods proposed in this book are suggested as alternative methods in accelerating fatigue testing time, especially for the field of wind turbine engineering.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research we present in this article focuses on a 9-m CX-100 wind turbine blade, designed by a team led by Sandia National Laboratories and manufactured by TPI Composites Inc. The key difference between the 9-m blade and baseline CX-100 blades is that this blade contains fabric wave defects of controlled geometry inserted at specified locations along the blade length. The defect blade was tested at the National Wind Technology Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory using a schedule of cycles at increasing load level until failure was detected. Our researchers used digital image correlation, shearography, acoustic emission, fiber-optic strain sensing, thermal imaging, and piezoelectric sensing as structural health monitoring techniques. Furthermore, this article provides a comparison of the sensing results of these different structural health monitoring approaches to detect the defects and track the resultant damage from the initial fatigue cycle to final failure.

This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International safety and design standards for structural performance analysis require full-scale testing of each wind turbine blade prototype and of blades that have undergone major design changes. The purpose of blade testing is to demonstrate that the blade design and production are such that the blade possesses the intended strength and service life. Full-scale testing can be seen as final design verification that also checks the assumptions used in the design. In this chapter, aspects of full-scale blade testing are considered in the practical context of the blade test laboratory. An overview is given of the tests which make up the complete test program, the loads used for each and the equipment and instrumentation used.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two 8.3 m wind turbine blades intentionally constructed with manufacturing flaws were tested to failure at NREL's NWTC. Two blades were tested, one blade was manufactured with a fiberglass spar cap and the second spade was manufactured with a carbon fiber spar cap. Test loading primarily consisted of fatigue loading the blades, with one quasi-static ultimate load case applied to the carbon fiber primarily consisted of flap fatigue loading of the blades, with one quasi-static ultimate load case applied to the carbon fiber spar cap blade. Results of the test program were intended to provide the full-scale test data needed for validation of model and coupon test results of the effect of defects in wind turbine blade composite materials. Testing was part of the Blade Reliability Collaborative (BRC) led by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL).
