Numerical investigation of ice accretion on an offshore composite wind turbine under critical loads

Abstract: Summary In northern regions, wind turbines are affected by the formation of ice on the surface of their structures, which usually occurs on moving blades, resulting in a significant decrease in aerodynamic performance and then the output power tends to reduce. This research evaluates the mechanical behavior and damage of the proposed composite blade structure under icing conditions. A comparative evaluation was carried out considering three ice configurations and three blade positions. The results are then exa… Show more

“…Blades are primarily manufactured by fiberglass composite. However, the increase of the rotor size has led to the consideration of carbon fiber, at least in some parts of the blade [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Due to their specific features, carbon fiber reinforced polymers have been broadly investigated in many different sectors, such as building structures [ 8 , 9 ], automotive sector [ 10 , 11 , 12 ] or energy harvesting applications [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], among others.…”
