Resumo: Modal analysis of horizontal axis wind turbines is becoming more important due to the increase in blade and tower dimensions, making the whole assembly more flexible and susceptible to vibration problems. Due to the slender characteristics of the blade and tower, they are typically modelled as cantilever beams, with the aid of the Finite Element Method. The objective of this paper is to investigate the natural frequencies of the DTU 10MW Reference Wind Turbine (composed of three blades and the tower) under the influence of tower and blades pre-stiffening. Tower pre-stiffening is due to the significant weight of the blades and the hub supported by the tower, resulting in tower compression loads. Blades pre-stiffening are due to the centrifugal loads acting on the rotating blades, thus depending on the rotation speed. The results are computed using the commercial software Altair® HyperWorks® and compared to the baseline results provided by the literature. It was found a maximum reduction of about 2% in the natural frequencies due to the tower pre-stiffening (for the 1st and 2nd modes) and maximum reductions varying from about 7% to 21% due to blades pre-stiffening (for the 1st mode), considering the minimum and maximum operational rotation speeds.

Devido às características esbeltas da pá e da torre, elas são tipicamente modeladas como vigas em balanço, com auxílio do Método dos Elementos Finitos. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar as frequências naturais da Turbina Eólica de Referência DTU 10MW (composta por três pás e a torre) sob a influência do pré-tensionamento da torre e das pás. O pré-tensionamento da torre é devido ao peso significativo das pás e do cubo suportado pela torre, resultando em cargas de compressão. O pré-tensionamento das pás é devido às cargas centrífugas que atuam nas pás rotativas, dependendo da velocidade de rotação. Os resultados são calculados usando o software comercial Altair® HyperWorks® e comparados com os resultados de referência fornecidos pela literatura. Constatou-se uma redução máxima de cerca de 2% nas frequências naturais devido ao pré-tensionamento da torre (para o 1º e 2º modos) e reduções máximas variando de cerca de 7% a 21% devido ao pré-tensionamento das pás (para o 1º modo), considerando as velocidades de rotação operacional mínima e máxima.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Integridade de Materiais da Engenharia2023-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripe/article/view/46861Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022): Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia ; 52-61Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia; v. 8 n. 2 (2022): Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia ; 52-612447-6102reponame:Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenhariainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripe/article/view/46861/36269Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenhariahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarreto Andrade, Thierre VictorRibeiro Begnini, Guilherme2023-01-31T20:59:04Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46861Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripePUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ripe/oaianflor@unb.br2447-61022447-6102opendoar:2023-01-31T20:59:04Revista Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Engenharia - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
