Numerical Simulation and Analysis of the Arrangement of Wind Direction Meter for Wind Turbine

Abstract

This paper performs CFD numerical analysis on the wind direction variation characteristics of the upper part of the platform under the running condition of the whole machine, and analyses whether the current location of the equipment is suitable for placing the wind direction measuring equipment and finding a better position in the area. The vicinity of the reference point is the area where the airflow is relatively intense, and the wind direction is complex and changeable. In-depth CFD research on this flow phenomenon can obtain an intuitive wind direction state and inherently subtle changes.

The influence of wind turbine blade rotation on Wind direction meter

“…The purpose of this paper is to select the best installation position on the nacelle through numerical simulation to reduce the interference of blade rotation on the wind vane. Ensure the safe operation of wind turbines [5][6][7][8][9].…”
