Description

Modern offshore wind turbines are the largest rotating machines ever built by humankind. As the scaleof commercial wind turbine size increases, so does the risk to the investment in development and thereliability and performance expectations from the larger designs. The intended RFP would seekapplications from U.S. industry and academia to provide the necessary data and analysis for validatingand developing tools used in the design and development of very large commercial wind turbine rotors, accelerating the development and deployment of cost-effective offshore wind technology.Specifically, NREL, seeks to address the lack of high-quality, open-source experimental data on theaerodynamic behavior of wind turbine airfoils in operation at high Reynolds numbers that arerepresentative of the high wind speeds and large sizes of rotor blades in wind turbines of approximately10-15 megawatts (MW) and beyond. At these scales, another problem is the uncertainty and magnitudeof loads on wind turbine blades when the turbine is idling or parked for installation, maintenance, orduring the passage of extreme weather events. In such situations, the ability of current simulationtechniques to accurately characterize the unsteady, three-dimensional (3D) aerodynamic/aeroelasticbehaviors is also unvalidated. As a result, turbine designs can either be overly conservative—hence, expensive—or can risk damage in certain wind conditions.
