5 MW Wind Turbine Annual Energy Production Improvement by Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Several flow control devices have been studied in recent years. Majority of them were designed firstly for aeronautical purposes. At present many research is aimed to introduce these devices in wind turbines (WTs) in order ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: A Review Oriented to Fluid-Dynamic Optimization
(MDPI, 2020-12-31)
Large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) are nowadays growing in popularity due to the increase in the energy production by renewable energy sources, which in general have a random intermittent nature. Currently, several ...
Delamination Fracture Behavior of Unidirectional Carbon Reinforced Composites Applied to Wind Turbine Blades
(MDPI, 2021-01-27)
One of the materials that is used widely for wind turbine blade manufacturing are fiber-reinforced composites. Although glass fiber reinforcement is the most used in wind turbine blades, the use of carbon fiber allows ...
Computational Methods for Modelling and Optimization of Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2020-07-19)
Over the last few years, the advances in size and weight for wind turbines have led to the development of flow control devices. The current work presents an innovative method to model flow control devices based on a cell-set ...
