  Power loss by blade deflection in flexible rotor wind turbines

  By Carlos Armenta-Deu, Antoine Renoud-Grappin

  Abstract: Effects of deflection onto the performance of small wind turbines with flexible rotor-blades have been studied and analysed. The goal of the study has been the evaluation of the wind turbine output power loss due to angular deflection because of bending effects caused by gravity. Wind turbine blades have been deformed under constant load at the tip of the blade for periods up to 40 days. Deformation process has been …
