RISOptimizing Wind Turbine Efficiency by Deformable Structures in Smart Blades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for optimizing blade designs in smart rotors; the objective is to maximize power regardless of wind conditions. An extensive analysis of what is known as “smart blades,†from aeronautical ...
Predicting Premature Failures in Small Wind Turbines With Recurrence Plots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the application of the recurrence plot as an alternative for preprocessing the raw data. The recurrence plots can extract the nonlinear and transient response and are sensitive to slight variations in ...
Shape Morphing Mechanism for Improving Wind Turbines Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wind energy technology is facing new challenges due to the increment in rotor diameter. Nowadays, several studies focus on the development of new flow control methods for load alleviation, in order to increase the lifetime ...
Measurement of Temperature and Load Versus Bearing Displacement in a Thrust Foil Bearing: Differences Between Light Load and High Load Operation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a test rig for evaluation of gas thrust foil bearings (GTFBs) and details measurements of load capacity conducted with a commercial GTFB comprising a single 360 deg, 0.127 mm thick top foil divided into ...
