Lets Tango with the Wind: Disinformation and Onshore Wind TurbinesPresentation on Bledcom 31, from Anthony Scott, on his Master International Communication graduation project: Lets Tango with the Wind

Presentatie PUMSWindT event

This article discusses results from an international contest, open for university student teams (bachelor and master), involving the design, construction, and testing of small wind turbines in a large wind tunnel. The wind tunnel has an outlet of 2.85 x 2.85 m allowing a maximum rotor swept area of 2 …

Kennisevent: Internationaal onderzoek energietransitie gebouwde omgeving

Dynamic inflow effects occur due to the rapid change of the rotor loading under conditions such as fast pitch steps. The paper presents a setup suitable for the investigation of those effects for non-axisymmetric rotor conditions, namely individual pitch steps. Furthermore, insights into the relevant …

AIRTuB Work Package 6 event at Entrance on modelling erosion.

While modern wind turbines have become by far the largest rotating machines on Earth with further upscaling planned for the future, a renewed interest in small wind turbines (SWTs) is fostering energy transition and smart grid development. Small machines have traditionally not received the same level …

The dynamic inflow effect describes the unsteady aerodynamic response to fast changes in rotor loading due to the inertia of the wake. Fast changes in turbine loading due to pitch actuation or rotor speed transients lead to load overshoots. The phenomenon is suspected to be also relevant for gust situations; …

Thoroughly examines the measurement, modeling and design approaches of wind turbine and wind farm aerodynamics Includes outlooks on the promising topics for future research Contains contributions of internationally renowned experts
