For offshore windfarms where construction, maintenance, and service are particularly challenging, blade mass and cost concerns are even more critical. A biplane rotor design concept, proposed by Wirz et al. at the University of California Los Angeles, is explored in this study as a means of reducing blade mass and cost. The biplane design replaces the thick airfoil shapes commonly found in the root region of conventional rotors with two thinner airfoils arranged in a biplane configuration. In the present study, this biplane design concept is applied to a redesign of the NREL 5 MW rotor, representative of modern large-scale offshore wind turbines. It is observed that the performance of the proposed biplane configuration is comparable to the baseline NREL 5 MW design at rated wind speeds, with potential mass-savings. However, the structural analyses also indicate significant stress concentration at the junctions where the biplane configuration is connected to the monoplane regions. A more detailed structural design would be necessary to alleviate stress concentrations in these areas and improve the overall structural characteristics of the rotor.","PeriodicalId":336848,"journal":{"name":"Volume 11: Wind Energy","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127747732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
