| Abstract | As the structural limits for the conventional horizontal-axis wind turbine are being reached, innovative concepts are needed to ensure increased reliability and reduced costs. One option is limiting the fatigue to which a rotor is subjected. This study, therefore, intends to experimentally investigate the tower shadow effect for a deeper understanding of the aerodynamic fluctuations, and to study the capability of a lower surface microtab to mitigate such fluctuations. For this, aerodynamic load variations caused by the presence of the tower on the rotor blades were reproduced and studied in the wind tunnel using a setup that mimics the interaction between the tower and the blade. Anemometers and flow visualisation techniques were used to explore the influence of the tower on the surrounding flow field. Real-time measurements show that the alterations in the lift force are mainly caused by the alterations in the flow angle and have proven that a lower surface microtab can partially mitigate aerodynamic load variations in the case of an upwind rotor blade. Experimental results are validated using a tower shadow model that is based on potential flow theory. The tower shadow model shows a reduction in 3p power oscillations by a factor of 2. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
