Full title/Vollständiger Titel

Secondary effects of a modified wind turbine with open blade tips

Topic/Thema

The lecture deals with a novel modification of wind turbines by which secondary effects can be used. The fundamental principle of the idea is based on the use of a passive air flow inside the turbine, which is created by the rotation of the blades when the tips are open. On the one hand, these can improve the performance of the turbine itself and, on the other hand, offer energy-efficient solutions to common challenges with conventional turbines, like conditioning the nacelle and blades. The research project examined the effects of the passive air flow on the entire structure from an industrial and scientific point of view. In the project, a potential implementation of the ventilation and tip opening as well as various possibilities of the airflow-use were examined in more detail and implemented by means of a modular virtual prototype. The lecture provides an insight into the associated research project and shows how the entire system of a wind turbine can be improved with innovative ideas.
