Uncertainty Quantification of Leading Edge Erosion Impacts on Wind Turbine Performance

Journal of Physics: Conference Series

Maniaci, David C.; Westergaard, Carsten H.; Foulk, James W.; Paquette, Joshua A.

Many factors that influence the effect of leading edge erosion on annual energy production are uncertain, such as the time to initiation, damage growth rate, the blade design, operational conditions, and atmospheric conditions. In this work, we explore how the uncertain parameters that drive leading edge erosion impact wind turbine power performance using a combination of uncertainty quantification and wind turbine modelling tools, at both low and medium fidelity. Results will include the predicted effect of erosion on several example wind plant sites for representative ranges of wind turbine designs, with a goal of helping wind plant operators better decide mitigation strategies.

Wind turbine blade load characterization under yaw offset at the SWiFT facility

Journal of Physics: Conference Series

Ennis, Brandon L.; White, Jonathan R.; Paquette, Joshua A.

Wind turbine yaw offset reduces power and alters the loading on a stand-alone wind turbine. The manner in which loads are affected by yaw offset has been analyzed and characterized based on atmospheric conditions in this paper using experimental data from the SWiFT facility to better understand the correlation between yaw offset and turbine performance.
