In this paper, mathematically modeled equations were derived for wind turbine under the analysis of aerodynamics. On the basis of these equations, maximum power controller is implemented by simulink in matlab. In order to achieving maximum power, variable speed control method is used for obtaining maximum power coefficient in the variable wind speed because we can have maximum changing efficiency in these coefficients. Also, the maximum power control of wind generator system uses a synchronous generator and a invertor circuit.

A structural test of the wind turbine rotor blade must be required to evaluate the uncertainty in design assessment due to use of material, design concepts, production processes and so on, and the possible impact on the structural integrity. In the full-scale static strength test, the measuring parameters are strain, displacements, loads, weight and the center of gravity. There are test equipments, measuring sensors, a test rig and fixtures to obtain measuring parameters. In order to simulate the aerodynamics load, the three-point loading method instead of the one-point loading method is applied. There is slightly some difference between the measured results and the predicted results with the reference fiber volume fraction of 60%. However, the agreement between the measured results and the predicted results with the actual fiber volume fraction of 52.5% is good. Even though a slightly non-linearity from 80% loading to 100% loading, a linear static solution is sufficient for the design purpose as the amount of the non-linearity is relatively small. Comparison between measured and predicted strain results at the maximum thickness positions of the blade profile for 0.236R(5.56m), 0.493R(11.59m) and 0.574R(13.43m), under 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% loadings for the upper part of the blade. The predicted values are in good agreement with the measured values.

A structural test of the wind turbine rotor blade is to evaluate the uncertainty of design due to selection of material, design concepts, production processes and so on, and their possible impacts on the structural integrity. In the full-scale static strength test, the measuring parameters are strain and displacements vs. loads, weight and the center of gravity. In order to simulate the aerodynamics load, the three-point loading method is applied. There is slight difference between the measured results and the predicted results for the reference fiber volume fraction of 60% . However, the agreement between the measured results and the predicted results with the actual fiber volume fraction of 52.5% is good. Even though a slightly non-linearity from 80% loading to 100% loading exists, a linear static solution is sufficient for the design purpose due to te small amount of non-linearity. Comparison between measured and predicted strain results at the maximum thickness positions of the blade profile for 0.236R(5.56m), 0.493R(11.59m) and 0.574R(13.43m), under 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% loadings for the upper part of the blade.

On 21st century, global warming is the most serious environmental problem threatening the existence of lives on the earth. One of the serious reasons of this nature phenomena was due to the greenhouse effect by carbon dioxide mainly produced with the combustion process of hydro-carbon fuel. and it is mostly produced. In the high oil prices age, intensification of energy efficiency promotion in the building sector is required. Windows are dominating large percentage whole building loads, and are regarding as the primary target of energy efficiency. The purpose of this research is on the obtaining of the renewable energy source in the skyscrape buildings in the metropolitan area. The air movement is happens due to the atmospheric pressure differences in the air. Due to this simple physical theory, it is easily expected to obtain the useful renewable nature energy through the high -raised vertical air stack installed in a tall building. However, there is one problem that should be resolved which is called air-hole effect in the sky -scrape buildings.

The power production using hub height wind speed tends to be overestimated than actual power production. It is because the hub height wind speed cannot represent vertical wind shear and blade tip loss that aerodynamics characteristic on the wind turbine. The commercial CFD model WindSim is used to compare and analyze each power production. A classification of atmospheric stability is accomplished by Monin-Obukhov length. The concentric wind speed constantly represents low value than horizontal equivalent wind speed or hub height wind speed, and also relevant to power production. The difference between hub height wind speed and concentric equivalent wind speed is higher in nighttime than daytime. Under the strongly convective state, power production is lower than under the stable state, especially using the concentric equivalent wind speed. Using the concentric equivalent wind speed considering vertical wind shear and blade tip loss is well estimated to decide suitable area for constructing wind farm.

This paper describes aerodynamic characteristics for the NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory) Phase VI rotor using the Fluent which is a commercial flow analysis tool. Aerodynamic analysis results are compared with experimental results by the NREL/NASA Ames wind tunnel tests. For three velocity cases, computed results are compared with experiment results at five spanwise positions. Computed results represented good agreement with the experimental results at low velocity. Otherwise computed results in suction side represents disagreement with the experimental results at high velocity. When interval between wind turbines is 10 times of rotor diameter, CFD research is performed to calculate the wake effect.

선행 연구에서 블레이드 뒷전에 탄성 플랩이 장착되면 받음각에 따라 양력의 증가가 항력의 증가보다 상대적으로 더 커지게 되어 전체적인 양항비(앙력과 항력의 비)가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 선행의 연구를 참조하여 플랩의 길이가 변함에 따라서 양력과 항력의 변화를 비교하였다. 블레이드의 종류와 플랩의 제원은 현재 이용되는 수직축 풍력 발전기의 제품과 동일하게 사용하였다. EDISON_CFD와 MIDAS_IT를 이용하여 플랩이 장착된 블레이드 주변의 유체 유동을 해석하고, 플랩의 상하변위를 계산하였다. 이 과정을 반복 수행하여 플랩의 거동을 분석하고 플랩의 길이와 받음각에 따른 양항비를 비교하여 이전보다 효율적인 플랩을 설계하였다.

Vibrations in aerodynamic systems can lead to significant structural and performance issues. This paper presents a novel theorem for actively controlling aerodynamic vibrations through parametric stability analysis. The proposed approach models the aerodynamic system as a dynamic system with parametric excitation, allowing for the identification of stable and unstable regions in the parameter space. By strategically adjusting the system parameters, the vibrations can be effectively suppressed, enhancing the overall reliability and performance of the aerodynamic system. The theoretical underpinnings of the theorem are discussed, and the effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated through numerical simulations and experimental validation. The results show the potential of this method for practical implementation in various aerodynamic applications, such as aerospace engineering and wind turbine design.
