The TKI WoZ VortexLoads project consortium has made a great contribution to more accurate wind turbine design load calculations, paving the way for further reductions in the cost of wind energy. The previously observed reduction in fatigue loading using vortex-wake models instead of the Blade Element Momentum method has been confirmed by using CFD simulations from IAG University of Stuttgart. New light has been shed on the cause for the observed differences and several model improvements have been developed, both to reduce the computational effort and improve robustness of vortex wake simulations (making these ready for application to certification load calculations) as well as to make BEM models more accurate. The improved modelling and the corresponding aerodynamic load reduction have a potential to reduce blade mass and/or further upscaling of the blades leading to a reduction in LCOE. |
