Abstract

The advent of wind turbines has enabled mankind to utilize renewable energy sources for the development of power. The blade being the most crucial part and the design of the same remains a challenge since it is subjected to dynamic loads due to the rotation of the blade along with unsteady wind velocity. The prediction of the dynamic wind loads acting on the blade is a difficult task and thus this has been analyzed in the present work. Two different approaches have been proposed to predict accurately the variation of the wind loads acting on the rotor using the unsteady blade element momentum theory. The effect of gravity has also been accounted for in computing the response of the structure. The effect of the position of shear web and the number of shear webs on the response of the structure has also been analyzed in the present work.
