As one of the widely used renewable energy sources, wind energy is expected to lead the energy market. A recent trend is to develop bigger wind turbines since upscaled wind turbines’ rotor size increases power production and reduces a significant amount of maintenance cost of a wind warm. Especially, due to the dimension of roads used in transportation of the turbine blades and components, there are strict limitations for design of onshore wind turbines. This study aims to investigate aerodynamic and hydrodynamic effects of upscaling of floating wind turbines. For this purpose, NREL 5 MW with OC4DeepCwind semisubmersible floating platform is upscaled up to 10 MW and 15 MW. Performance of the upscaled NREL 5 is compared to IEA 10 MW, and IEA 15 MW wind turbines. The OpenFAST open-source code is used to analyze the aerodynamic effects on the rotor and to carry out coupled analysis of the FOWTs.

Numerical simulations of wind turbine wake interactions using actuator line and les models
Önel, Hüseyin Can; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
Wind is one of the most promising renewable energy resources of the future. After years of optimization studies, Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines shine out as the most efficient type and have been the only model used in large scale commercial wind farms. Layout planning plays an important role in getting the most power out of a wind farm as much as turbine blade design. Most important parameter in this planning phase is the inevitable wake generated by rotors and its impact on other wind turbines which results...

Currently, solar energy is promising the primary source of renewable energy that has a great potential to generate power for an extremely low operating cost when compared to already existing power generation technologies. Increasing the efficiency of solar cells is a major goal and the prominent factor in photovoltaic system research. Current triple junction solar cells reach 30% and the next generation will bring 35% in 5 years to peak at 40%. These cells are used in space environment and in terrestrial sy...

Wind energy is considered one of the cleanest and most sustainable resources among renewable energy sources. However, several negative environmental impacts can be observed, unless suitable sites are selected for the establishment of wind farms. The aim of this study is to determine the change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock resulting from land cover changes that were caused by wind farm establishments in the Karaburun peninsula. Within the scope of the study, remote sensing and geographic informatio...
Comparison of renewables (onshore wind, offshore wind and conventional PV) for Bozcaada Island in Turkey
Şentürk, Ayşe Eylül; Oğuz, Elif; Çiçek, Doğa Derman (2020-11-19)
Renewable energy sources for the shift from fossil fuel have been considered as a solution to generate energy. In order to determine the optimal alternative for a specific region having more than one renewable energy sources prior to investment, Bozcaada Island is considered in this study. Two different renewable sources, wind and solar sources, are evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. For wind potential, operated onshore wind farm and proposed offshore wind farm are considered. A land base...
Design of a modular, axial-flux direct drive permanent magnet generator for wind turbines
Başkaya, Aydın; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Wind energy technology is becoming more important issue in terms of renewable energy applications. Theoretical maximum of wind energy utilization is known (which is predetermined by Betz as 59%) and generally imperfections in blade manufacture reduce the actual energy yield of the turbine less than the useable energy. Therefore, maximum energy yield from generator topology is desired. According to fault statistics of wind turbines, most of the cases are related to gearbox failures. Mechanical losses and hea...
