Predictive model of wind turbine rotor-blade deflection
Abstract: A simulation process has been developed to predict wind turbine rotor-blade deflection caused by gravity effects. The model is based on the rotor-blade segmentation in finite elements, each one considered as an independent structure. The simulation has been extended to n-elements to make a more precise approach to the real performance. The range of deformation has been determined for a wind turbine rotor-blade analysing the effects of forces that creates …
