Frequency Evaluation of Steam Turbine Bladed Risks
In this paper, Dresser-Rand has initiated the use of the SAFE (Singh's Advanced Frequency Evaluation) diagram to help bladed disk designer. Identification of when the frequency of variable force match component's natural frequencies is the traditional method to design around potential blade failures. The identification of matching frequencies-the force with...

Aero-Elastic Stability Analysis Tools for Large Wind Turbine Rotor Blades
ECN has been involved in several joint research projects on the aero-elastic stability of rotor blade vibrations, in which different analysis tools have been investigated. Taking the difference between these tools into account the predictions show the same trend for different blade pitch (Ædrag stallÆ) or for Structural Pitch modifications....

Programs for Buckling Strength Prediction of Rotor Blades
This paper discusses the programs for buckling strength prediction of rotor blades. The dimensions of large wind turbines under development still increase, which is partly driven by the offshore-requirements of a 'high energy capture per turbine unit'. The relatively large amount of structural mass, and the dominating weight loads associated...

Hardness Testing of Blade and Knife Material
This leading manufacturer of cutting blades and knives for industrial and surgical applications needed a hardness testing capability with maximum flexibility. The problem was that some customers specified Rockwell C hardness measures while other customers specified 30N or other different scales. Specialty Blades uses to assure accurate levels of hardness...

Compliant Blades for Wind Turbines
This paper details an aero-elastic study of compliant blades used in the passive power control of horizontal-axis wind turbines. By designing the blades using fiber-reinforced composite materials, coupling between bending and torsion can be incorporated. The present work investigates the capability of a 50 kW constant speed wind turbine to...

Development of Tooling Suitable for Stall Regulated Blades
Wood composite had been established as a viable competitive technology for blades but, in comparison with GRP blades. Wood composite was still a relatively new technology as applied to wind turbine blades, and production improvements were not just a matter of assembling off-the-peg production solutions: much technology development was required...

Multi-Megawatt Blade Development Project
An emerging market was evident at the start of the project for large wind turbines, based on and offshore. With larger blades, self-weight becomes a major driver in the wind turbine design. The weight of large blades is also a problem for handling on site particularly in an offshore installation....

Insects Cause Double Stall
Several large commercial wind turbines demonstrate drops in maximum power levels up to 45%, under apparently equal conditions. A number of hypotheses was formulated, three of which were useful. By performing stall flag measurements, as well as two other experiments, one of the three hypotheses was confirmed: the Insect Hypothesis....
