The Effect of a Flexible Blade for Load Alleviation in Wind Turbines

The Effect of a Flexible Blade for Load Alleviation in Wind Turbines

This article presents the analysis of the performance of a flexible wind turbine blade. The simulation analysis is based on a 3 m span blade prototype. The blade has a flexible surface and a cam mechanism that modifies the aerodynamic profile and adapts the surface to different configurations. The b...
