Abstract

Wind turbines installed in regions with high altitudes and low temperatures on winter season, ice can accumulate on the blade surfaces during operating condition. A small amount of ice accretion on the blade surface can result in several crucial issues, such as AEP (annual energy production) reduction due to degrade aerodynamic performance, and safety concerns related to ice falling down. Predicting and elucidating icing accretion phenomena under various weather conditions are significantly essential in the aspect of operating and maintenance. The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of ice accretion on the aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbine blades CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis, including ice thickness and shape, under varying weather conditions. Therefore, this study focused on identifying the aerodynamic characteristics affected by ice accretion, including ice thickness and shape under various weather conditions through Fensap. Through this methodology, the presence of ice accumulation on the blade surfaces was investigated, and its adverse impact on aerodynamic performance has been assessed.

阐明多兆瓦风力涡轮机叶片积冰导致的空气动力特性

安装在高海拔和冬季低温地区的风力涡轮机在运行状态下会在叶片表面积冰。叶片表面的少量积冰可能会导致几个关键问题，如由于空气动力性能下降导致的 AEP（年发电量）减少，以及与冰块掉落有关的安全问题。预测和阐明各种天气条件下的结冰现象对运行和维护至关重要。本研究的主要目的是评估在不同天气条件下，结冰对风力涡轮机叶片 CFD（计算流体动力学）分析气动特性的影响，包括冰的厚度和形状。因此，本研究重点是通过 Fensap 确定在不同天气条件下受积冰影响的空气动力特性，包括冰的厚度和形状。通过这种方法，研究了叶片表面是否存在积冰，并评估了积冰对气动性能的不利影响。
