Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of wind turbine subassemblies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the reliability of more than 6000 modern onshore wind turbines and their subassemblies in Denmark and Germany over 11 years and particularly changes in reliability of generators, gearboxes and converters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The science of making more torque from wind: Diffuser experiments and theory revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that power augmentation is proportional to the mass flow increase generated at the nozzle of the DAWT, such mass flow augmentation can be achieved through two basic principles: increase in the diffuser exit ratio and/or decreasing the negative back pressure at the exit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulating Dynamic Stall in a 2D VAWT: Modeling strategy, verification and validation with Particle Image Velocimetry data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experimental data for model validation of a single bladed VAWT and showed the suitability of the PIV data for the validation of the model, the need for accurate simulation of the large eddies and the sensitivity of model to grid refinement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of Wind Turbine Technology Through Time
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comparison of component reliability through time, with respect to their technology, and show significant differences in reliability for certain subcomponents depending on the size of the wind turbines and especially on the type of power control.
Journal ArticleDOI
The DOWEC Offshore Reference Windfarm: Analysis of Transportation for Operation and Maintenance
TL;DR: In this article, access methods for O&M crew have been investigated, including inflatable boats (zodiacs), special offshore access systems and (iii) helicopters, and operational limits have been established, expressed as'maximum mean' wind speed and as significant wave height.
