A dataset of wind tunnel power and wake flow measurements on a setup of three aligned model wind turbines is presented. The power outputs of the three turbines are in good agreement with measurements from a full-scale wind farm of similar inter-turbine spacing. A comparison of the wake flow behind the first row and the second row shows a significantly higher mean velocity loss behind the second row justifying a further power drop from the second to the third row turbine. Curtailing the front row turbine to smaller than rated tip speed ratios resulted in insignificant total power gains below 1%. Curtailments of both the first and second row turbine indicate that the best combined array power results are achieved for slightly lower than rated tip speed ratios. Although power curtailment is observed to have a rather small potential for power optimization of a wind farm, it could be an effective method for load distribution at constant farm power.

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Winglets on the Tip Vortex Behavior of a Model Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Using Particle Image Velocimetry Ostovan, Yasar; Akpolat, M. Tugrul; Uzol, Oğuz (2019-02-01) This study presents an experimental investigation on the effects of winglets on the near wake flow around the tip region and on the tip vortex characteristics downstream of a 0.94 m diameter three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) rotor. Phase-locked 2D particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements are performed with and without winglets covering 120 deg of azimuthal progression of the rotor. The impact of using winglets on the flow field near the wake boundary as well as on the tip vortex characte...
Investigation of inertial support limits in wind turbines and the effects on the power system stability Duymaz, Erencan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this study, the inertial support implementation is studied for variable speed wind turbines with a full-scale power electronics. To increase the active power as desired, Machine Side Converter is modified with an additional control loop. In the first part of the thesis, active power of the wind turbine is increased to the limits and the maximum achievable active power is found out to be restricted by the wind speed. It is found that the wind turbine can increase its output power by 40% of rated power in ...
ON THE EFFECTS OF INFLOW CONDITIONS ON THE WAKE OF WIND TURBINE MODELS AND POROUS DISCS Hassanein, Abdelrahman Hisham Ahmed Sabri; Perçin, Mustafa; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2023-1-18) The study investigates the effect of two inflow conditions on the wake of a model wind turbine, namely, homogenous isotropic turbulence intensity and streamwise gust. For the effect of the freestream turbulence intensity, the wake of a porous disc with a comparable thrust coefficient was used to further highlight the differences in their wakes and decay characteristics. Results show that the wake of a wind turbine model has a faster decay rate than porous discs under both freestream turbulence intensities. ...
Comparative study of transient and quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of composite wind turbine blade in steady wind conditions Sargın, Hakan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative study of the transient and quasi-steady aeroelastic analysis of a composite wind turbine blade in steady wind conditions. Transient analysis of the wind turbine blade is performed by the multi-body dynamic code Samcef Wind Turbine which uses blade element momentum theory for aerodynamic load calculation. For this purpose, a multi-body wind turbine model is generated with rigid components except for the turbine blades. For the purposes of the study, a r...
Dynamic modelling and simulation of a wind turbine Altuğ, Ayşe Hazal; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) In this thesis, a dynamic model for a horizontal axis wind turbine is developed for an upwind configuration using the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Blade Element Momentum Theory is used to model the rotor. It is assumed that the rotor blades are rigid and wind speed is uniform. Aerodynamic and gravitational forces are calculated as distributed loads. Verification of the model is done by using the LMS Samtech, Samcef for Wind Turbines software. Aerodynamic properties of the blades, sectional loads and moments...
