Passive and active strategies for rotor load reduction in wind turbines

Passive and active strategies for rotor load reduction in wind turbines

  • Integration of passive (bend-twist coupled blades) and active (individual pitch control) load alleviation systems in partial wake.

  • Aerodynamic characterization of an aeroelastic rotor with bend-twist coupled blades

Passive and active strategies for rotor load reduction in wind turbines

Analyses of innovative ideas for lightweight rotor design. Synergistic combinations of novel aerodynamic concepts, passive geometrical and structural couplings and active control strategies are studied and tested.
