Global wind energy resources are estimated at about 400 TW (Adams and Keith, 2013). However, of this, the utilization for which there is technical capability is estimated at about 40 TW (Lewandowski, 2007), of which about 486 MW (GWEC, 2017) is currently used. Not all wind energy can be converted to useful energy. The maximum efficiency of wind conversion arising from wind turbine aerodynamics determined by Betz (Schaffarczyk, 2014; Hansen, 2015). The effectiveness of each wind turbine type is shown in Figure 12.6.

The numerical model employs state-of-art approaches to simulate wind turbine aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, structural dynamics as well as the couplings between them. Model test research has been launched and the experiment data are used to validate the numerical model.

So many parametric and design modifications of H-Darrieus WT with performance prediction methods are summarized in Table 5. In general, most of the authors targeted enhancing the power output of the turbine especially for enabling the turbine self-starting. Analytical, numerical, and combined methods of performance prediction are including in touch. Interim of predictions, each separate method may have their merit and demerit; combine forms such as FSI analysis provide an outstanding effort to multi-dimensional considerations in the complex aerodynamics of the turbine. Analytical models: stream tube model (STM), multiple stream tube models (MSTM), and double multiple stream tube models (DMST) and CFD models: k-ε, k-ω, and SST k-ω are the usual tools for H-Darrieus wind turbine aerodynamics study. In turn, the coupling system (FSI) becomes a mandatory and necessary tool for the high fidelity study of VAWTs. But very expensive computational costs and time consuming nature may the special drawback of this method.

Wind turbine aerodynamics modelling depends on the power efficiency (Cp) taken from (Wang, Lin, and Le 2014), Equation (25) represents betz law where = Air density [kg/m3]; A = Area swept by rotor [m2]; = Pitch angle of the blade in degree; = Tip velocity ratio; R = Length of the blades [m]; Uω = Wind velocity [m/s2].
Coordinated Frequency Control Scheme of Offshore Wind Farm Connected to VSC-HVDC
Published in Electric Power Components and Systems, 2019
Based on the analysis of wind turbine aerodynamics, the mechanical power of the PMSG-WT can be derived from the following equations [32]: where is power coefficient; is tip speed ratio (TSR); β is pitch angle; ρ is air density; R is the radius of the blade; is wind speed.
