      The paper investigates the flow behavior near the NACA 64-618 airfoil profile of the blade tip section of a wind turbine for electric power production after a short icing event. The flow simulation considering the rotation speed of the wind turbine blade is performed to assess the effect of icing on the aerodynamic characteristics. Degradation of aerodynamic characteristics affects the electrical ...

      This paper presents a study of the impact of icing on the performance of a pitch-regulated large wind turbine. Numerical simulations of six blade sections of the NREL 5 MW wind turbine at various free stream velocities are performed. Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method along Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) bases multiphase numerical simulations are used for this study. Analysis shows that the ...

      Kangash, Aleksei; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel; Maryandyshev, Pavel; Brillard, Alain (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-29)
      Wind energy assessment of a territory where a wind park is planned to be built is important. This can be performed through an appropriate evaluation of the wind characteristics in this territory. To simulate the wind speeds, a Weibull function is recommended whose parameters are classically determined either applying logarithms or using one of the formulas proposed in the literature. In the present ...
