Modal analysis of a small vertical axis wind turbine (Type DARRIEUS)
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper reports a brief study on free vibration analysis for determining parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) for an urban application. This study is focused on numerical work using available finite element software. For further understanding of the wind turbine dynamic analysis, two vibration parameters of dynamic response have been studied, namely natural frequencies and mode shapes.Block Lanczos method has been used to analyze the natural frequency while wind turbine mode shapes have been utilized because of their accuracy and faster solution. In this problem 12 modes of structure have been extracted.
