| Abstract | This paper presents a novel wind turbine blade with an actively adaptable twist angle. A weighted-least square technique is proposed to design and control the blade in its application. Controlling the twist distribution provides new capabilities that may not be achievable with blade pitch or rotor torque control. An adaptive twist angle can reduce fatigue loads and improve the efficiency of wind energy conversion. Our previous work established the theoretical blade twist distribution that maximizes wind capture during partial load operation. The twist distribution changes continuously as a function of wind speed. In practice, it is a challenge to design and control the blade to adapt to this range of transformation. Accordingly, a blade concept and engineering design method are proposed to achieve this task. The blade is constructed from additively manufactured sections that are assumed to have tunable stiffness. The sections are mounted on a centralized spar that provides stiffness. The sections are actuated at each end and have two zones of stiffness. A mathematical framework prescribes (1) length of each blade section and (2) the relative stiffness between a pair of compliant shells. Establishing the section length effectively sets the points of actuation, while the relative stiffness establishes a nonlinear twist. These design selections determine the twist distribution. The method employing weighted-least squares is employed to optimize these selections. The approach biases the shape design and control towards the theoretical twist distribution at a range of designated wind speed. This enables a customized solution that maximizes the wind capture based on the wind conditions at a given installation site. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
