Insights into Wind Turbine Aerodynamics, Performance Evaluation, and Structural Health Monitoring: A Comprehensive Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
This review provides an in-depth examination of the key aspects of wind turbine technology, focusing on aerodynamics, performance, and structural health monitoring. The aerodynamic performance of wind turbines is critical for maximizing energy capture and efficiency, necessitating a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics, blade design, and the influence of various atmospheric conditions. This paper explores advanced aerodynamic models and simulation techniques that contribute to the optimization of turbine blades and overall system performance. In parallel, the review addresses the performance metrics of wind turbines, including power output, efficiency, and reliability, highlighting recent advancements in materials, control systems, and power electronics that enhance operational efficacy. Furthermore, the structural health monitoring (SHM) of wind turbines is examined, emphasizing the importance of early fault detection and maintenance strategies to ensure longevity and safety. Cutting-edge SHM technologies such as sensors, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms are discussed for their role in predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring.
