Vibration Response Behaviour of a High Solidity, Low Rotational Velocity, Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Abstract
A series of full scale experimental wind tunnel tests were performed to determine the aerodynamic loading behaviour on the airfoils of a high solidity, low rotational velocity, 3 bladed H-type vertical axis wind turbine. The primary vibration response was resonance excitation of the dominant whirling mode of the turbine. However, for a significant number of test cases, resonance behaviour was also observed in the bending strains of the airfoil …
