A Comparison of Wind Turbine Design Loads in Different Environments Using Inverse Reliability Techniques
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence of turbulence conditions on the design loads for wind turbines is investigated by using inverse reliability techniques. Alternative modeling assumptions for randomness in the gross ...
Design Loads for Wind Turbines Using the Environmental Contour Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When interest is in establishing ultimate design loads for wind turbines such that a service life of, say, 20 years is assured, alternative procedures are available. One class of methods works ...
Symmetry Considerations When Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition for Predicting Wind Turbine Yaw Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In an earlier study, the authors discussed the efficiency of low-dimensional representations of inflow turbulence random fields in predicting statistics of wind turbine loads that included blade ...
Low-Dimensional Representations of Inflow Turbulence and Wind Turbine Response Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A demonstration of the use of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) is presented for the identification of energetic modes that characterize the spatial random field describing the inflow turbulence ...
A Comparison of Standard Coherence Models for Inflow Turbulence With Estimates from Field Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Long-term Inflow and Structural Test (LIST) program, managed by Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, is gathering inflow and structural response data on a modified version of the ...
