Structural Response and Eole Code Validation of the Wind Harvester 3.1 VAWT

Author: Dr. David Malcolm

Publication: Wind Harvest International

Year Published: 2023

This report brings together much of the structural and performance data from the operation of the Wind Harvester 3.1. The response at three of the sensors is examined in detail (the lower mast bending, lower mast torque, the bending in the middle of the upper blade, and the out-of-plane bending of the middle arm). In general, the predictions of the mean and harmonic values for the three responses are in good or acceptable agreement with the field data.
