Evaluation of WRF Simulation of Deep Convection in the US Southern Great Plains

S. C. Pryor et al.

Summary: The Southern Great Plains region experiences frequent heavy rainfall and hail events. This study used the WRF Model to simulate seven months of weather conditions, and evaluated the accuracy of the simulation. The results showed that the model performed well in simulating precipitation and wind speeds, but had some biases in simulating extremely high rainfall and hail. Greater accuracy is needed for joint probabilities of wind speed, rainfall, and hail for renewable energy applications.

The Springer Model for Lifetime Prediction of Wind Turbine Blade Leading Edge Protection Systems: A Review and Sensitivity Study

Nick Hoksbergen et al.

Summary: The wind energy sector is growing rapidly, leading to larger wind turbines and increased erosion damage from rain droplets. Coating materials are used to protect the blades, and the Springer model is commonly used to predict the fatigue lifetime of these coated substrates. However, the model's sensitivity to input parameters and lack of physical representation highlight the need for more accurate prediction methods. A proposed framework consisting of a contact pressure model, coating stress model, and fatigue strength model is sufficient to capture the underlying physics of rain erosion on wind turbine blades.

Levelized cost-based learning analysis of utility-scale wind and solar in the United States

Mark Bolinger et al.

Summary: Learning curves play a significant role in power sector planning. By improving upon existing learning curves, we determine the overall learning rates for wind and solar energy and conclude that learning based on the levelized cost of energy provides a more comprehensive view. Future reductions in the cost of energy may be underestimated.

Generation of Surface Maps of Erosion Resistance for Wind Turbine Blades under Rain Flows

Alessio Castorrini et al.

Summary: This article proposes a method that integrates multibody aeroelastic simulation, high-fidelity simulations of aerodynamics and particle transport, and semi-empirical models to predict corrosion damage on wind turbine blades. By generating a parametric map of the affected blade regions, the fatigue life of the coating surface can be evaluated, providing an important reference for the sustainability of maintenance, control, and mitigation measures.

Damage mechanism of composite laminates under multiple ice impacts at high velocity

Xinying Zhu et al.

Summary: This article investigates the response of CFRP laminates to multiple ice impacts by considering the actual circumstances of hail impacts on aerospace structures. Different impact schemes were carried out, and three different analysis methods were used to observe the damage patterns. The results show that the damage mode and area are influenced by both the single impact energy and the density of impact points. A numerical model was also used to predict the damage evolution.

Atmospheric Drivers of Wind Turbine Blade Leading Edge Erosion: Review and Recommendations for Future Research

Sara C. Pryor et al.

Summary: Leading edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades can lead to decreased power production and increased costs. Understanding hydrometeor properties and joint probability distributions of precipitation and wind speeds is necessary. However, there is a lack of observational data for such locations.

Correction to raindrop size distributions measured by PARSIVEL disdrometers in strong winds

Limin Lin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the performance of PARSIVEL under strong horizontal wind conditions in tropical cyclones, showing a lower estimation of integral rain rate compared to AWS data. By developing a wind-adjusted quality control method, the study demonstrates a significant improvement in correcting the underestimation, particularly in the case of large raindrops.

The effect of temperature on the erosion of polyurethane coatings for wind turbine leading edge protection

Mike Godfrey et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of low temperatures on the erosion of PU coatings by solid particles, revealing a significant increase in erosion rate at cold temperatures. Different erosion mechanisms were observed for PU coatings at ambient and cold temperatures, with the cold temperature leading to more plastic deformation in the coatings.

Rain Erosion Load and Its Effect on Leading-Edge Lifetime and Potential of Erosion-Safe Mode at Wind Turbines in the North Sea and Baltic Sea

Charlotte Bay Hasager et al.

Summary: The study found that the leading-edge lifetime of wind turbine blades increases from South to North along the German and Danish North Sea coastline and is shorter in the West compared to the East in the Baltic Sea area. It is recommended to use a time series of 10 years or longer to avoid overestimation of the lifetime.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of a Thies Clima laser disdrometer under strong wind and heavy rain conditions, finding that a new adaptive filtering method can improve precipitation estimates by 8% compared to the standard approach. The impact of wind speed on velocity-diameter spectrographs gradually increases with wind strength, leading to a higher percentage of wrongly allocated hydrometeors.

Summary: The development of new anti-erosion coatings for wind turbine blade surface protection using nanoengineered polymers is explored. Coatings with graphene and hybrid nanoreinforcements show better erosion protection performance, providing lifetimes up to 13 times longer than non-reinforced polyurethanes. Thermal effects and energy dissipation during repeated soft impacts on the blade surface are discussed.
