  • 본 연구에서는 소형 플랩을 채용하여 능동하중제어를 이루고자하는 풍력블레이드의 적용을 염두해 둔 에어포일 설계를 수행하였다. 블레이드 팁 부분에 플랩을 적용하고자 하는 경우 플랩의 구동 장치, 연결 부위 등의 장치 설치를 위한 공간이 블레이드 내부에 필요하다. 이를 위하여 기존의 에어포일의 성능을 유지하면서 뒷전의 두께비가 증가된 에어포일 형상의 설계가 필요하다. 최적설계를 위하여는 MIGA(Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm)을 채용하였으며 에어포일의 성능 계산을 위하여는 Xfoil을 결합하였다. 또한 형상 생성을 위하여 Hick-Henne 형상 함수를 이용하였다. 위와 같은 방법으로 설계된 에어포일은 코드길이 85% 위치에서 두께비 6.3%,양항비 133을 가지게 되어 기본으로 설정한 DU180에어포일에 비해 성능과 필요 두께비를 모두 능가하는 에어포일이 되었다.

  • The rotor design is fundamental to the performance and dynamic response of the Counter-rotating marine tidal current turbine. The wind industry has seen significant advancement single rotor blade technology, offering considerable knowledge and making it easy to transfer to tidal stream energy converters. In this paper, 3D flow and performance an alysis on a 100 kW counter-rotating marine current turbine blade was carried out by using the 3-D Navier-Stokes commercial solver(ANSYS CFX-11.0) to provide more efficient design techniques to design engineers. The front and rear rotor diameter is 8m and the rotating speed is 24.72rpm. Hexahedral meshing was generated by ICEM-CFD to achieve better quality of results. The rated power and its approaching stream velocity for design are 100 kW and 2 m/s respectively. The pressure distribution on the blade's suction side tells us that the pressure becomes low at the leading edge of the airfoil as it moves from the hub to the tip.

  • This study, a basic study to improve aerodynamic characteristic of a wind blade, explored through CFD how much the lift to drag ratio improves according to the shape of groove formed on the surface of airfoil NACA0015. This study found out that the ratio improves by 8.7% when the ratio between boundary layer(${\delta}$) and the depth of groove(h), the ratio between the depth of groove(h) and the width of groove(d) and the ratio between the length(p) from one groove to the other and the width of groove are 1.1, 0.1 and 1.2 respectively. The number of grooves is two. It was also confirmed that the improvement of the lift to drag ratio is maintained after certain angle of attack.

  • A study has been done for self-starting torque of vertical axis wind turbine blade. It is especially concentrated to evaluate the torque coefficient before starting rotation. Two different aerofoils(AMI903 and AMI904) are proposed to benchmark the possible best blade(supercritical airfoil) for self-starting performance. Torque coefficients in the tangential direction of rotation are given with respect to the angle of attack in terms of drag coefficient and lift coefficient. Torque coefficient shows that the effect of Reynolds number is minimal. The thicker blade(AMI904) between two different proposed airfoils has bigger torque coefficient, which is attributed to lower lift coefficient and higher drag coefficient.

  • The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) was developed by use of BEMT. The Prandtl's tip loss theory was adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The lift and the drag coefficient of S-809 airfoil were predicted via X-FOIL and also the post stall characteristics of S-809 were estimated by the Viterna's equations. All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the wind tunnel test results, performed by Sommers in Delft university of technology. The rated power of the testing rotor is 20kW(FIL-20) at design conditions. The experimental aerodynamic parameters and the X-FOIL data were used for the power prediction of the FIL-20 respectively. The comparison results shows good agreement in power prediction.

  • 풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 경우 운용 조건에서 높은 양항비를 가지도록 설계되나 풍속, 풍향의 변동에 의해 운용조건에 변화가 발생할 경우 성능의 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 운용조건의 변동이 발생하더라도 공력 성능이 크게 변하지 않는 익형이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 운용조건의 불확실성을 고려하여 풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 신뢰성 기반 강건 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 익형 설계를 위해서 여러 익형 형상 변수들을 고려할 수 있는 익형 모델링 함수를 정의하였고 기저형상으로는 NREL에서 개발한 S809 익형을 사용하였다.
