Modal behaviour of vertical axis wind turbine comprising prestressed rotor blades: a finite element analysis

Pre-stressing is a concept used in many engineering structures. In this study prestressing in the form of axial compression stress is proposed in the blade structure of H-Darrieus wind turbine. The study draws a structural comparison between reference and prestressed configurations of turbine rotor...
