A fast stochastic solution method for the Blade Element Momentum equations for long‐term load assessment

Abstract: Unsteady power output and long-term loads (extreme and fatigue) drive wind turbine design.However, these loads are difficult to include in optimization loops and are typically only assessed in a post-optimization load analysis or via reduced-order methods. Both alternatives yield suboptimal results. The reason for this difficulty lays in the deterministic approaches to long-term loads assessment. To model the statistics of lifetime loads they require the analysis of many unsteady load cases, generated from man… Show more

“…For future work, we want to test the possibility of truncation of the polynomials in order to make the MCs of the surrogate model more cost-efficient. Also, using non-conventional polynomials, such as what Fluck and Crawford (2018) did, might result in a more efficient polynomial. In this study, we used the collocation method for calculating the PCE coefficients.…”

“…The polynomials do not necessarily need to be selected from the specific family of polynomials as long as they are orthogonal polynomials. For instance, Fluck and Crawford (2018) showed exponentials components work at best for their purposes. As the randomness in this study comes in the form of a uniform distribution for φ j , the surrogate model is based on the Legendre polynomials (Xiu and Karniadakis, 2003).…”

“…As they were quickly faced with curse of dimensionality, they showed it is possible to reduce the number of random variables in Veers' unsteady wind model significantly. Afterwards, they used this reduced dimension wind model to propagate stochasticity through a simple lifting line (Fluck and Crawford, 2016b) or BEM (Fluck and Crawford, 2018) model. However, with intrusive PCE it is necessary to change the model implementation fundamentally to incorporate the random variables (Sudret, 2007).…”
