6 FAQs about [Wind turbine spoiler strips]

Do wind turbine blades have a spoiler?

LM Wind Power AS (2008) Wind turbine blade having a spoiler with effective separation of airflow. European Patent EP2141358A1 Lobitz DW, Veers PS, Migliore PG (1996) Enhanced performance of HAWTs using adaptive blades. United States: N. p Lobitz DW, Veers PS, Laino DJ (2000) Performance of twist-coupled blades on variable speed rotors.

Do root spoilers affect aeroelastic turbine blades?

The authors built an aeroelastic BEM model for a commercial 2 MW turbine retrofitted with root spoilers using a 3D blade scan. The turbine was chosen to address a maintenance problem where blades cracked after installing the spoilers. Regarding the AEP gain and rotor integrated load, the spoiler impact is marginal.

How do wind turbine blades work?

In a wind turbine , the blades are the components responsible for extracting energy from the wind, transforming the momentum of the airflow into torque (and thrust). At the same time, the blades are subjected to significant loads during their useful life, mainly due to the impact of the aerodynamic, gravitational, and inertial forces.

Why are wind turbine blades important?

Apart from power and loads , the blades are also responsible for certain undesired byproducts, such as noise, and the visual impact. Due to the importance of the blades in the wind turbine performance, the blade planform and the rotor configuration are critical in the design process.

Is TBL-Te noise a problem in wind turbine blades?

Nevertheless, as TBL-TE noise is considered to be the most dominating and common mechanism in wind turbine blades (Oerlemans et al. 2007 ), it makes sense to understand it and address it with a higher priority .

Why are wind turbine blades so noisy?

Rotating wind turbine blades are host to numerous phenomena which give rise to highly three-dimensional, unsteady, and noisy flow regimes. These are often related to the mode of operation and turbine design itself, such as dynamic inflow due to delayed responses from the rotor near-wake, dynamic stall, and yaw misalignment (Schreck 2007 ).
