Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Wind energy is an increasingly import source of renewable, clean energy. In spite of this, only the methods and the materials of construction have improved over time, while the basic working principle of the wind turbine is still the same as it was centuries ago. In this thesis we have increased the power of a wind turbine by a factor of 4 in a fluid dynamic simulation, using a very simple external shroud system. We have also extended the theory of wind turbines (limit of Betz), to include this new kind of device and show why past attempts to augment the power of a wind turbine by means of shroud systems have failed. A detailed analysis of the device and its functioning principle is presented in this thesis - optimization studies need to be done in the future.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about the analysis of miniature wind turbine using Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD). Wind energy is one of the renewable energy resources and the applications of wind turbine have been used in several countries. Basically there are three types of wind turbine that exists. Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine, Vertical Axis Wind Turbine and Offshore Wind Turbine. These three types of wind turbine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Horizontal Wind Turbines is the most popular type of wind turbine in practice nowadays. The miniature wind turbine is more practically used for residential area and has power output in the range of 400 W to 10 kW. Theoretically, in order to produce 10kW of power output, the wind speed must be at least 7 m/s. As for this study, the wind speed is at 4 m/s inaccordance to the Malaysian average wind speed. The maximum size of rotor blade for a miniature wind turbine is 7 m diameter. Analysis has been conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In this project, the result is achieved by using COSMOFlow Work. In COSMOFlow Work, the value of Torque (Nm) measured is the value of force acting on the miniature rotor blade. A comparison study using Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory has been conducted to ensure that the value of Torque from CFD and BEM in this project is synchronized. This is to prove that the analysis conducted correlated to the theory of wind turbine is correct and undoubful. As for the conclusion, this project has successfully achieved its targeted objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind energy plays a critical role as a safe and clean source of energy. However, the complexity of wind patterns produced by the topographical characteristics of urban environments considerably affect the performance of urban wind turbines. In order to address these effects, this study utilizes both Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and meteorological data in order to simulate the wind flow in an urban area and to predict the performance of a wind turbine at specific locations on top of buildings. This thesis presents a review of vertical axis wind turbines and the desirable locations of these types of wind turbines above a building in an urban area. Numerical simulations offer a cost-effective method with an acceptable accuracy to evaluate wind turbine locations. Two test cases have been studied to illustrate the behavior of wind turbines located on the roofs of buildings. The full scale of the urban area and the computational domain are constructed, and the flow is simulated based on the STAR CCM+ ® software. The three-dimensional, steady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved to obtain the velocity of the wind in urban areas. Meteorological data is then used to estimate the potential energy production at specific locations on the top of a building. Multiple locations are studied in terms of annual total Energy output to find out the best potential position for turbine installation. Results demonstrate a significant difference of energy output for different locations of the wind turbines on the same building. This study introduces an effective tool to study the annual total energy output potential at multiple locations above the building in much shorter time span (within a month) rather than the existing experimental or field methods.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing global demand for energy and environmental concerns have provoked a shift from exhaustible, fossil fuel based energy to renewable energy sources. It is clear that wind energy will play an important role in satisfying our current and future energy demands. In this paper, a horizontal configuration of a Savonius and cup type wind turbines are proposed to be mounted on the upstream edge of a building, in such a way that its low performance is improved by taking advantage of the flow acceleration generated by the edge of the building. The importance of integrated simulations which include both the building and the turbine is shown and it is also demonstrated that the individual calculations of the flow around the building and the turbine individually cannot be superposed. Following the validation of the methodology with experimental data, the performance of the Savonius wind turbines placed in the vicinity of the edge of the building top was calculated. The position, blade number, and circumferential length were then investigated when the turbine is mounted on a building. The objective is to better understand wind turbine behavior for low speed urban environments. The flow fields of conventional Savonius and cup type turbines were solved using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in 3D domains. The optimal configuration shows an improvement in the power coefficient from 0.043 to 0.24, representing an improvement of 450%. The improvement also demonstrates that although cup type blades show very poor performance in free stream flow, they perform well in the right environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cold climate regions have a high potential for wind energy production, but can also be characterized by frequent atmospheric icing events, which can significantly reduce the annual power production of a wind farm. Ice that accretes on turbine blades degrades their aerodynamic performance and reduces their power output. Thus, there is a need for more accurate assessment of the effect of atmospheric icing on wind turbines and for strategies to protect turbine blades from icing.The present work uses CFD analysis to focus on two important engineering issues related to wind turbine blade icing: the wind turbine performance loss due to blade icing, and the design of blade heating systems to prevent ice accretion. All CFD simulations are performed using the FENSAP-ICE simulation system.First, CFD simulations are used to predict the impact atmospheric icing has on wind turbine power production. Fully 3D simulations are performed considering the rotor geometry of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiment (UAE) Phase VI rotor. Four representative icing conditions are simulated. The resulting '1-hour' ice shapes are shown to reduce rotor torque, and therefore resulting power output, by up to 60%. Furthermore, at high wind speeds the NREL turbine blade is regulated by intentional blade stall to prevent very high torque and overproduction. CFD simulations showed that at these wind speeds, ice accretion could increase the wind turbine rotor torque significantly, potentially damaging the turbine due to overproduction and creating possible safety concerns. Next, the FENSAP-ICE system is used to predict the power required and effective coverage region needed for an anti-icing system to prevent ice accretion on the NREL UAE Phase VI rotor. In all cases the power required to keep the rotor ice-free was less than the rated power of the turbine.Lastly, a CFD simulation of a real-world, long-term, 17-hour icing event that took place at a wind farm in the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec was performed. Results of power loss successfully matched that which occurred on site. Moreover, it was determined that an anti-icing system used during a similar icing event could protect against icing in a self-sufficient manner." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by concerns on climate change and global warming, increasing oil prices, government support and public receptiveness, wind energy harvesting is emerging as one of the fastest growing renewable energy technologies. Most wind energy is nowadays produced by wind farms, which consist of hundreds of turbines to take advantage of economies of scale. Wind farm performance is however affected by the wakes generated by the turbines which can significantly diminish their annual energy production. Accurate wake effect predictions and reliable wind farm layout design become therefore critical aspects to the economic success of a wind farm project. The present research project aims therefore to define an innovative design framework that integrates accurate wake effect predictions for the development of the next generation wind farms as part of the strategy for promoting the transition to a renewable energy generation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provides a unique tool to simulate wind turbine wakes because of its capability to provide a complete solution for the flow field in complex configurations. Nevertheless, CFD simulations are strongly influenced by the choice of the turbulence model used to close the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. We therefore conducted an analysis of different turbulence models and their influence on the results of CFD wind turbine simulations to suggest the most suitable for such applications. Even though proper turbulence modeling is adopted, several studies showed however that the effectiveness of RANS models in wind farm simulations has not always been consistent. We therefore hypothesized this limitation to arise from uncertainties generated by the wind direction variability and proposed a modeling framework that, by accounting for such uncertainties, consistently improved the agreement of the CFD predictions with the experimental observations. To integrate the CFD models in a design methodology, we developed an innovative continuous adjoint formulation for gradient calculations within the framework of a gradient-based wind farm layout optimization. By testing this optimization methodology under different wind farm configurations, wind resource distributions and terrain topography, we showed that this unique CFD-based design framework effectively improved the annual energy production of a proposed wind farm by optimally siting its turbines.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of sustainable energy is one of the biggest challenges facing us today. Wind and solar technologies are the leaders for clean energies. Wind energy is in relatively plentiful supply, can be used efficiently and is a nonpolluting power production method. Within this paradigm, building-integrated micro wind turbines are promising low cost renewable energy devices, but are fraught with challenges like low wind speeds and high turbulence intensity. In this thesis, a comprehensive study of increased performance of a wind turbine design inside a diffuser shaped shroud on building roofs is conducted. A commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is used to simulate unsteady 3D flows inside the diffuser and around the turbine. The meshing strategy and model used is verified using a grid refinement study. The geometric modifications and various non-dimensional parametric studies conducted are also described in detail, along with the relevant discussion of results obtained. Furthermore, the coefficient of power of the turbine is improved from 0.135 to 0.394, representing an improvement of almost 300%. This improvement can largely be attributed to the flanged diffuser shroud design, as well as the modifications made to the blades of the turbine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horizontal-axis wind turbines operate in a complex, inherently unsteady aerodynamic environment. The flow over the blades is dominated by 3-D effects, particularly during stall, which is accompanied by massive flow separation and vortex shedding. There is always bluff-body shedding from the turbine nacelle and support structure which interacts with the rotor wake. In addition, the high aspect ratios of wind turbine blades make them very flexible, leading to substantial aeroelastic deformation of the blades, altering the aerodynamics. Finally, when situated in a wind farm, turbines must operate in the unsteady wake of upstream neighbors. Though computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has made significant inroads as a research tool, simple, inexpensive methods, such as blade element momentum theory, are still the workhorses in wind turbine design and aeroelasticity applications. These methods are unable to accurately predict rotor loads near the edges of the operating envelope.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind energy is an abundant natural resource that people have been trying to tap in recent decades. More and more wind turbines are being built to solve the world's energy shortage problem. For a wind turbine, power extracted from the wind by the rotor and the torque applied to the wind turbine blades are important issues in the design process. Thus there is a need to predict the performance of wind turbine blades using computer modeling. This work shows the results of a computational fluid dynamic simulation developed to predict the air flow field and associated aerodynamic quantities around the moving blades of a wind turbine. The commercial software package SolidWorks was used to construct the geometrical model. Two commercial CFD codes, SC/Tetra and FLUENT, were used to do the fluid simulations. This work was performed in two phases. First a two-dimensional airfoil simulation was modeled to investigate the aerodynamic coefficients Cl, Cd, and Cm for the S809 airfoil. Validation of the CFD model was also examined. The second phase of this modeling work was a three-dimensional model of the flow around the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) Phase VI wind turbine rotor, which is a horizontal axis wind turbine with two blades using an S809 airfoil. In the three-dimensional model, both rotating blades were simulated. Power extracted from the wind by the rotor, torque on the blades due to the wind, pressure distributions on the blades, and air flow velocity distributions around the blades are the results presented in this work. Comparisons between results obtained from numerical computations and those from the experimental investigation and previous computational investigations are in a good agreement. Subsequently, using FLUENT codes a detailed study of the effect of yaw angle on power extraction and blade torque was performed. Results are presented for yaw angles of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, and 60° and wind speeds of 7m/s, 10m/s, 13m/s, 15m/s, 20m/s, and 25m/s. These results show that yaw angles up to 20° do not cause more than a 2% reduction in power extraction, indicating that wind turbines do not have to be perfectly aligned with the wind for good operation. This is beneficial in practice because it may be difficult to align the wind turbine with the wind direction under the condition of rapidly changing wind directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays the demands for floating offshore wind (FOWT) have exceeded 5MW with the rapidly growing wind market. The aerodynamic environment of FOWT is more complex than onshore or fixed offshore wind turbine due to the large motions of floating platforms. The platform motion, especially pitch and surge motions, increase aerodynamic unsteadiness, wake interactions and other complex flow phenomena. These conditions influence the velocities and accelerations at the rotor sections along the blade. However, a limited simulation and load estimation capability make aerodynamic analysis a challenge. It is questionable whether some industry aerodynamic analysis codes like conventional Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and Generalised Dynamic Wake theory are accurate. Results indicate that current methods for predicting the aerodynamic loads may be inadequate.Aerodynamic flow effects cannot be accurately modelled using traditional BEM theory with common corrections in such a complex condition. So compared with traditional potential theory, CFD method provides more physically realistic simulation. The applying and validation of CFD method will be outlined in this dissertation. The commercial multi-purpose CFD solver STAR CCM+ 9.02 is employed for calculation of the flow using Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in conjunction with different turbulent models. Finally, results from CFD simulations of various offshore floating wind turbines under different load conditions will be presented. CFD simulation is accurate, but time consuming. So, an optimization method will be detected to get a more accurate result and saving time. 2D CFD RANS data was instead of commonly 2D data. However, not result in the desired improvements when compared to BEM results. Therefore, a 2D airfoil data obtained by post-processing of 3D CFD computations was used. 3D results were used to estimate 2D airfoil characteristics to modify two important parameters in BEM codes: the axial and the tangential induction factors by applying the reduced axial velocity method by getting the local angle of attack from CFD solutions. This thesis will demonstrate that the aerodynamics of offshore floating wind turbines is sufficiently different from conventional offshore and onshore wind turbines, warranting the use of higher fidelity analysis approaches. It is obvious that thexxiiiplatform motions will have a great effect on unsteady aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine rotor. This thesis will study and explain the rules and reasons of this phenomenon in detail.Future offshore floating wind turbine designs should strive to either minimize platform motions or be complementarily optimized, via higher fidelity aerodynamic analysis techniques, to account for them. It is believed that this dissertation is the first in-depth study of offshore floating wind turbine aerodynamics and the applicability of various analysis methods.
