The following conclusions can be made from the results of this research. 1) In the case of coexisting wave-wind fields, the wind effect stabilizes the pitch motion. 2) The wind effect decreases vibration of the mooring lines when waves and wind coexist. In particular, the springing (2nd or 3rd order force) also decreases in this field. 3) It can be estimated that the reduction in the rate of generation of electrical power can be up to about 6% as a result of the heel angle. In addition, the annual amount of electricity generated was estimated along with the utilization factor based on the experimental results.展开更多

By design, a distribution grid system is not an active network, and it is normally designed in such a way that power flows from transmission system via distribution system to consumers. But in a situation when wind turbines are connected to the distribution grid, the power source will change from one source to two sources, in this case, network is said to be active. This may probably have an impact on the distribution grid to whenever the wind turbine is connected. The best way to know the impact of wind turbine on the distribution grid in question is by carrying out load flow analysis on that system with and without the connection of wind turbines. Two major fundamental calculations: the steady-state voltage variation at the PCC (point of common coupling) and the calculation of short-circuit power of the grid system at the POC (point of connection) are necessary before carrying out the load flow study on the distribution grid. This paper, therefore, considers these pre-load flow calculations that are necessary before carrying out load flow study on the test distribution grid. These calculations are carded out on a test distribution system.展开更多

In addition, SynRG has no cogging torque. Hence, wind turbine generation system with SynRG can achieve smooth start at low wind velocity. The rotor design of proposed SynRG is multi flux barrier type. With FEA (finite element analysis) software, the characteristics of SynRG are brought out, and the performance of wind turbine generation system with SynRG including copper loss and iron loss is simulated by FEA coupled with the motion equation of the wind turbine generation system under the maximum power point tracking control. In this paper, the constant wind test and the quasi-natural wind test are conducted. In conclusion, the results of these simulations indicate that the wind turbine generation system with SynRG has good performance, especially in starting phenomena.展开更多

In the present study, three models (cylinder with no fins, cylinder with straight fins and cylinder with spiral fins) were installed, and fluid force measurements were performed by a strain gauge force balance. A PIV (particle image velocimetry) system was used to better understand the flow fields around the cylinder. Considering the results of the experiment, it was confirmed that, the aerodynamic performance of the rotating cylinder can be improved by the fin. However, the straight fin makes the flow close to the cylinder surface ineffective. The rotary cylinder with the spiral fins was able to generate the greatest lift among three models, because the spiral fin effectively influences the vicinity of the cylinder surface.展开更多

文摘Spiral Magnus is a unique wind turbine system that rotates with cylinders which have spiral-shaped fins coiled around them (instead of using the more common propeller-type blades). In the present study, three models (cylinder with no fins, cylinder with straight fins and cylinder with spiral fins) were installed, and fluid force measurements were performed by a strain gauge force balance. A PIV (particle image velocimetry) system was used to better understand the flow fields around the cylinder. Considering the results of the experiment, it was confirmed that, the aerodynamic performance of the rotating cylinder can be improved by the fin. However, the straight fin makes the flow close to the cylinder surface ineffective. The rotary cylinder with the spiral fins was able to generate the greatest lift among three models, because the spiral fin effectively influences the vicinity of the cylinder surface.
