  Damping Techniques for Controlling Edgewise Vibration of Wind Turbine Blades

  By Sandip A Kale, Rahul S. Patil

  Abstract: AbstractEdgewise vibrations with low aerodynamic damping are of particular concern in modern multi-megawatt wind turbines, as large amplitude cyclic oscillations may significantly shorten the life-time of wind turbine components, and even lead to structural damages or failures. In this paper, five types of damping methods are studied. The tuned liquid dampers utilize the sloshing motion of the fluid to suppress structural vibrations and become a natural candidate for damping vibrations …
