Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades for minimizing power production losses due to icing Yirtici, Ozcan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2021-05-01) Ice formation on a wind turbine alters the airfoil profiles of the blades and causes degradation in the aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine and the resulting power production losses. Since the blade profile plays a significant role in the icing of a blade, power production losses due to icing can be minimized by optimizing the blade profile against icing. In this study, blade profiles are optimized in order to minimize power production losses. A Gradient based aerodynamic shape optimization method i...

Aerodynamic Shape Optimization for Reducing Ice Induced Losses on Wind Turbine Blades Yırtıcı, Özcan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 2019-05-14) Ice accretion on wind turbines modifies the blade shape profile and causes alteration in the aerodynamic characteristics of the blades. The objective of this study is to optimize the blade geometry to reduce performance losses by minimizing ice accretion in cold climate regions and mountainous areas where wind energy resources are plentifully found. In this study, The Gradient Based Optimization Method and Blade Element Momentum Method will be employed together with an ice accretion prediction tool for esti...
Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a 2-D panel method with a boundary layer solver and a Genetic Algorithm Polat, Ozge; Sezer-uzol, Nilay; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 2012-12-01) This paper presents an aerodynamic shape optimization methodology for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines. Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory are implemented for maximization of the power production at a given wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver with a boundary layer model, XFOIL, provides sectional aerodynamic loads. Optimization variables are selected as the sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid an...
Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a parallel genetic algorithm Polat, Ozge; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2013-12-31) An aerodynamic shape optimization methodology based on Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum theory is developed for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines Optimization studies are performed for the maximization of power production at a specific wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter.
