A comparison of finite element predictions and experimental data for the forced response and the DOE 100kW vertical axis wind turbine

Engineering, Miscellaneous

Author: Erik Mollerstrom, Fredric Ottermo, Jonny Hylander, Hans BernhoffPublication: Sandia National LaboratoriesYear Published: 1984 A specialized finite element capability has been developed to predict dynamic structural response of the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). This report is concerned with evaluating this finite element analysis technique. This achieve this, several types of experimental data taken from…

Eigen Frequencies of A Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Tower Made of Laminated Wood and the Effect Upon Attaching Guy Wires

Engineering, Frequency Response

Author: Erik Mollerstrom, Fredric Ottermo, Jonny Hylander, Hans BernhoffYear Published: 2014 Eigen frequencies of a vertical axis wind turbine tower made out of laminated wood which are both bolted to the ground and supported by guy wires are studied and compared. Using beam theory, an analytical model taking the guy wires into account for calculating…
