Micro Abstract:
Currently, the wind turbine design trend is up-scaling which results in larger slender and flexible wind turbine blades. Therefore, as wind turbine blades become lighter and more flexible, aeroelastic instabilities must be of great concern. Most of the current aeroelasticity tools are based on simplified models of the aerodynamics and the structural dynamics. Therefore, the accuracy level of the engineering models compared to the high-fidelity models were investigated.
