Active vibration suppression of wind turbine blades integrated with piezoelectric sensors

As the wind turbine size gets larger, the optimal design of blades, which is a major source of energy for the wind turbines and also the cause of loads, is becoming more important than anything else. Therefore, reducing the load on the blade should be the top priority in designing a blade. In this a...

description As the wind turbine size gets larger, the optimal design of blades, which is a major source of energy for the wind turbines and also the cause of loads, is becoming more important than anything else. Therefore, reducing the load on the blade should be the top priority in designing a blade. In this article, we studied the vibration control of the stiffened wind blades subjected to a wind load with piezoelectric sensors and actuators to mitigate fluctuations in loading and adding damping to the blade. The model is a laminated composite blade with a shear web and the PZT piezomaterial layers embedded on the top and bottom surfaces act as a sensor and actuator, respectively. A uniformly distributed external wind load is assumed over the entire plate surface for simplicity. The first-order shear deformation (FSDT) theory is adopted, and Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the finite element equation of motion. The modal superposition technique and the Newmark-β\beta method are used in numerical analysis to calculate the dynamic response. Using the constant gain negative velocity feedback control algorithm, vibration characteristics and transient responses are compared. Furthermore, vibration control at various locations of the shear webs subjected to an external load is discussed in detail. Through various calculation results performed in this study, this article proposes a method of designing a blade that can reduce the load by actively responding to the external load acting on the wind turbine blade.
