Download or read book Offshore Wind Turbine Loads Under the Coupled Influences of Wind, Waves, and Currents During Hurricanes written by Eungsoo Kim and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, potential offshore wind plant sites have been identified along the Atlantic seaboard and in the Gulf of Mexico. At such sites, it is imperative that we consider load cases for and define external conditions associated with hurricanes and severe winter storms for which wind turbines may need to be designed. We select two hurricanes, Ike (2008) and Sandy (2012), and investigate what effect these tropical storms would have on bottom-supported offshore wind turbines that were hypothetically in or close to their path as they made landfall. For realistic turbine loads assessment, it is important that the coupled influences of the changing wind, wave, and current fields are simulated throughout the evolution of the hurricanes. We employ a coupled model—specifically, the University of Miami Coupled Model (UMCM)—that integrates atmospheric, wave, and ocean components to produce needed wind, wave, and current data. The wind data are used to generate appropriate vertical wind profiles and full wind velocity fields including turbulence; the current field over the water column is obtained by interpolated discrete output current data; and short-crested irregular second-order waves are simulated using output directional wave spectra from the coupled model. Two monopile-supported offshore wind turbines sited in 20 meters of water in the Gulf of Mexico are studied so as to estimate loads during Hurricane Ike; a jacket space-frame platform-supported offshore wind turbine sited in 50 meters of water in the mid-Atlantic region is studied so as to estimate loads during Hurricane Sandy. We discuss in detail how the simulated hurricane wind, wave, and current output data are used in turbine loads studies. We discuss important characteristics of the external conditions including the relative importance of swell versus wind seas, of aerodynamic versus hydrodynamic forces, of current velocity effects, of yaw control options for the turbine, of hydrodynamic drag versus inertia forces, and of soil-structure interaction effects. A detailed framework is presented that explains how coupled inputs can be included in turbine loads studies during a hurricane; this can aid in future efforts aimed at developing offshore wind turbine design criteria and load cases related to hurricanes.

Book excerpt: In the wake of mass blackouts and energy crises, wind power remains a largely untapped resource of renewable energy. It is a booming worldwide industry whose technology, under the collective wing of aficionados like author Paul Gipe, is coming of age. Wind Power guides us through the emergent, sometimes daunting discourse on wind technology, giving frank explanations of how to use wind technology wisely and sound advice on how to avoid common mistakes. Since the mid-1970s, Paul Gipe has played a part in nearly every aspect of wind energy’s development—from installing small turbines to promoting wind energy worldwide. As an American proponent of renewable energy, Gipe has earned the acclaim and respect of European energy specialists for years, but his arguments have often fallen on deaf ears at home. Today, the topic of wind power is cropping up everywhere from the beaches of Cape Cod to the Oregon-Washington border, and one wind turbine is capable of producing enough electricity per year to run 200 average American households. Now, Paul Gipe is back to shed light on this increasingly important energy source with a revised edition of Wind Power. Over the course of his career, Paul Gipe has been a proponent, participant, observer, and critic of the wind industry. His experience with wind has given rise to two previous books on the subject, Wind Energy Basics and Wind Power for Home and Business, which have sold over 50,000 copies. Wind Power for Home and Business has become a staple for both homeowners and professionals interested in the subject, and now, with energy prices soaring, interest in wind power is hitting an all-time high. With chapters on output and economics, Wind Power discloses how much you can expect from each method of wind technology, both in terms of energy and financial savings. The book’s updated models, graphics, and weighty appendixes make it an invaluable reference for everyone interested in the emerging trend of wind power and renewable energy. Executive Director of the American Wind Energy Association Randall Swisher has said, "In the last two decades, no one has done more that Paul Gipe to bring wind energy to the public’s attention."

Download or read book Control of Large Wind Energy Systems written by Adrian Gambier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind energy systems are central contributors to renewable energy generation, and their technology is continuously improved and updated. Without losing sight of theory, Control of Large Wind Energy Systems demonstrates how to implement concrete control systems for modern wind turbines, explaining the reasons behind choices and decisions. This book provides an extended treatment of different control topics divided into three thematic parts including modelling, control and implementation. Solutions for real-life difficulties such as multi-parameter tuning of several controllers, curve fitting of nonlinear power curves, and filter design for concrete signals are also undertaken. Examples and a case study are included to illustrate the parametrization of models, the control systems design with problems and possible solutions. Advice for the selection of control laws, calculation of specific parameters, which are necessary for the control laws, as the sensitivity functions, is given, as well as an evaluation of control performance based on indices and load calculation. Control of Large Wind Energy Systems covers methodologies which are not usually found in literature on this topic, including fractional order PID and nonlinear PID for pitch control, peak shaving control and extremum seeking control for the generator control, yaw control and shutdown control. This makes it an ideal book for postgraduate students, researchers and industrial engineers in the field of wind turbine control. Advances in Industrial Control reports and encourages the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.
