Toward control co-design of utility-scale wind turbines: Collective vs. individual blade pitch control

Christian Santoni et al.

Summary: A large-eddy simulation framework coupled with controller modules was used to investigate the impacts of collective and individual pitch control strategies on wind turbine energy production and fatigue loads. The results showed that the individual pitch control strategy could reduce the damage equivalent loads of the turbines without any penalty on power production. It was also found that the individual pitch control strategy had minimal influence on the turbulence kinetic energy of the wake and the recovery of the turbine wake.

Design and analysis of a segmented blade for a 50 MW wind turbine rotor

Alejandra S. Escalera Mendoza et al.

Summary: This article examines the solution of segmentation for extreme-size wind turbines to tackle logistical challenges. By developing design methods and analyzing the impact of segmentation on blade mass and frequencies, the study shows that segmentation is feasible but mass reduction is necessary to improve feasibility.

A two-way coupling method for the study of aeroelastic effects in large wind turbines

Giacomo Della Posta et al.

Summary: The study suggests that one-way coupled simulations tend to overestimate power production and structural oscillations in wind turbines. Flapwise blade vibration induces aerodynamic damping in the structural motion, while torsional deformation reduces power without introducing significant dynamical effects.

Eulerian numerical modeling of contaminant transport in Lower Manhattan, New York City, from a point-source release under the dominant wind condition: Insights gained via LES

Wayne R. Oaks et al.

Summary: In urban areas with closely packed buildings, pollutants released can be transported by turbulent airflow, and studying the dynamics of turbulent flow around buildings can help predict contaminant plume propagation. High-resolution simulation of airflow can provide insights into the transport of contaminants and their movement in urban areas.
