1. 1. Performance analysis of a small-scalewind turbine at variable pitch and withpitch unbalance

   University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

   Author : Francesco Mazzeo; [2021]
   Keywords : Wind energy; wind turbine; pitch angle; pitch unbalance; Blade Element Momentum BEM theory; Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD ; wind tunnel experiments; oscillations;

   Abstract : When it comes to design a wind turbine rotor, several parameters have to be taken into account. The present work focuses on the inclination of the blades with respect to the rotor plane, namely the pich angle. READ MORE

3. 2. Investigating CVT as a Transmission System Option for Wind Turbines

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik; KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

   Author : Deniz Alkan; [2013]
   Keywords : Continuously variable transmission CVT ; wind turbine drive train; blade element momentum BEM ; frequency control of wind turbines; power electronics;

   Abstract : In this study, an innovative solution is examined for transmission problems and frequency control for wind Turbines. Power electronics and the gear boxes are the parts which are responsible of a significant amount of failures and they are increasing the operation and maintenance cost of wind turbines. READ MORE
