Development and Analysis of a Swept Blade Aeroelastic Model for a Small Wind Turbine (Presentation): NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

Rick Damiani, Robert Preus, Scott Larwood, Sang Lee

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Competitiveness Improvement Project, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed new capabilities for aeroelastic modeling of precurved and preswept blades for small wind turbines. This presentation covers the quest for optimized rotors, computer-aided engineering tools, a case study, and summary of the results.
